The experiments here described were performed for the purpose of obtaining the essential facts concerning the distribution of the air force along the span. We did not follow, however, the time-consuming method of point-to-point measurements of the pressure distribution on the wing surfaces, but determined directly the moment of mean force about an axis passing through the middle of the span parallel to the direction of flight.

In the development of Diesel engine fuel injection systems it is necessary to have an approximate knowledge of the absolute viscosity of the fuel oil under high hydrostatic pressures. This report presents the results of experimental tests conducted by Mr. Jackson Newton Shore, utilizing the A.S.M.E. high pressure equipment.

This report describes preliminary wind tunnel tests on a model of a monoplane wing equipped with wing tip floating ailerons. Lift and drag, as well as rolling and yawing moments, were measured.

Tests were made on four racing type airfoils, the N-9, N-38, C-62, and N-46, in order to determine the high speed characteristics of the wings. The results indicate that the N-46 has about 12 percent lower minimum drag than the regular C-62 section, and that both the N-38 and N-46 have the same exceptionally low minimum drag coefficient.

Tests were made on the 1927 Williams racer in order to determine the effect of the wing radiator on the airfoil characteristics. It was found that the radiator doubled the minimum drag of the portion of the wing it covered, and also reduced the lift somewhat.

"These experiments show that the rate of auto rotation of a monoplane airfoil is reduced by sweepback, ceasing entirely when the sweepback is 30 degrees. In addition a very serious increase in rate and range of auto rotation with yaw is shown" (p. 1).

Transcript for Manuel Urbina from the Estado de Coahuila de Zaragoza Escuela Preparatoria para Varones. Includes a breakdown of school year and courses taken.

Report discussing the A.B.C. Motors Robin, a single-seat monoplane that was built for pilot comfort, speed, and fuel efficiency. Information about the structural design, dimensions, weight, performance, and rough blueprints is included.

Circular describing the Fairey III.F, which is a general-purpose biplane created by the Fairey Aviation Company to serve as a fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, ambulance, passenger, or long-range airplane. Details of the structure, power plant, wings, tail, landing gear, cockpits, controls, corrosion proofing, instruments, radio, armament, drawings, and photographs are provided.

Memorandum presenting equations to calculate the moments of inertia of thin corrugated sections.

The following experimental results will perhaps increase the knowledge of the process of welding rustproof steels. The experiments were made with two chrome-steel sheets and with two chrome-steel-nickel sheets having the composition shown in Table I.

"It would appear that welds in some stainless steels, heat-treated in some practicable way, will probably be found to have all the resistance to corrosion that is required for aircraft. Certainly these structures are not subjected to the severe conditions that are found in chemical plants. This article should be considered as an outline of what can be done, not necessarily as instructions, which will enable anyone to obtain satisfactory results in commercial work" (p. 1).
