Magnetic susceptibilities per gram atomic weight of elements 92 to 95 in most of their oxidation states were measured on 0.1 ml of solution which was 0.007 to 0.09 M in heavy element. The values obtained (all paramagnetic) in c.g.s. units x 10{sup 6} were: U(IV), 3690; Np(VI), 2060; Np(V), 4120; Np(IV), 4000; Pu(IV), 1610; Pu(III), 370; Am(III), 720. The results could be interpreted only on the basis of electronic configurations 5f{sup n}, even though susceptibilities were generally lower than the theoretical values and lower than experimental values for corresponding lanthanide cations. The lower values should be expected as a result of the Stark effect produced by fields of anions and of water dipoles. Failure of the Russell-Saunders approximation to the coupling between electrons may account for some of the error in the theoretical calculations. Wider multiplet splitting in the actinides accounts for the fact that the susceptibilities of Pu(III) and Am(III) are many-fold lower than those of Sm(III) and Eu (III) respectively.

Memorandum presenting an investigation in natural icing conditions to determine the effect of ice formations on the performance of an axial-flow turbojet engine. A description of the change over time in tail-pipe temperature, engine jet thrust, fuel flow, ice collection, and acceleration qualities are provided.

Combustion chamber liners for gas turbines and experimental set-ups were tested for failure. A ceramic-lined test chamber was operated at fuel/air ratios up to 0.050. Thermal-shock evaluation indicated that a ceramic lining, which expands after firing, would crack but would not fall apart during operation. Refractoriness of the lining and the resistance to mechanical shock were adequate. In general, shell temperature reductions of approximately 400 deg F were effected by the use of this lining at fuel/air ratios of 0.016 and 0.050. The mechanism of failure of the ceramic lining was induced by sudden heating and cooling during operation.

Memorandum presenting wind-tunnel tests that have been made to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a model tail plane with modified NACA 65-010 sections and a tapered plan form. Results were obtained with the model tail plane unswept and swept back. The data show the lift, drag, pitching-moment, and hinge-moment coefficient variation with angle of attack and flap deflection at various Mach numbers.
