Report published in a scientific bulletin, describing some foraminifera of the midway formation in the Mexia-Corsicana area.

Report on how to identify good gasoline and kerosene, written for the average citizen, with an explanation of purchaser and supplier relationships.

Report discussing a case study of a coal company in Western Pennsylvania to show how mining companies might decrease their timber bills.

A product of the Air Navigation Engineering Co., the Missel Thrush is a light airplane suitable for private ownership. It is a two seat tractor fuselage biplane with single I interplane struts designed by J. Bewsher.

Built by the 'Czecho-Slovakian' aircraft factory, AVIA, the B.H. 21, has a top speed of 250 MPH, and carries 120 kg of gasoline and 20 kg of oil, giving it a radius of action of 600-650 km. It is equipped with a Hispano-Suiza engine capable of 300 HP. Details of the design, structure, wings, stabilizer, fuselage, controls, fuel tanks, landing gear, tail, characteristics, performances, drawings, and photographs are provided.

The Hamlet is a three engine high wing monoplane of comparatively small size, fitted with three Bristol Lucifer series IV engines of 130 HP. each, and designed to carry a pilot and four passengers. Details of the layout, wings, slot and flap gear, fuselage, characteristics, performance, and drawings are provided.

Report issued by the Bureau of Standards over chemicals used for tanning leather hides. As stated in the introduction: "an investigation was conducted to determine the suitability of sulfite cellulose extracts, derived from the waste liquors discharged from paper pulp mills, for use in tanning hides for the manufacture of leather" (p. 309). This report includes tables, and photographs.

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of tubing length on the indicated pressure values as ascertained in the pressure distribution measurements on the PW-9. The purpose was to determine the percentage of error in the pressure readings which might be caused by various lengths of tubing between the pressure orifices and pressure cell at the manometer. The differences in head caused by variations in the length of tubing are small, the lowest recorded being zero, the highest 2.7 percent.

It seems desirable to have some simple method for calculating quickly and with sufficient accuracy: 1) the correct position of the center of gravity; 2) the requisite tail-group dimensions; 3) and the course of the wing and tail-group moments. In out deductions, we will first replace the biplane (disregarding the effect of stagger, decalage and induced drag) by an equivalent monoplane, whose dimensions and position in space can be approximately determined in a simple manner.

The task of removing the boundary layer by suction consists in producing, in place of the ordinary flow with the formation of vortices, another kind of flow in which the vortices are eliminated by drawing small quantities of fluid from certain points on the surface into the interior of the body. The experiments with a sphere, which constitute the subject of this report, were made early in the present year .

Memorandum describing warning or correcting devices based on the registering of two distinct factors, the air speed and the angle of attack. The authors of the report define the conditions for the flight of an airplane and then study the causes of stalled flight in the different cases where it can occur.

The staff and construction of the Institute are described as well as a variety of experiments and researches being conducted there. The six sections of the laboratory are described, including the Section for Theoretical Researches, Section for Aerodynamic Researches, Windmill Section, Section for Engine-Propeller Groups, Section for Material Testing, and Section for Instrument Making. Special attention is given to the various wind tunnels and testing facilities present.

From Introduction: "The airplane designer often finds it necessary, in meeting the requirements of visibility, to remove area or to otherwise locally distort the plan or section of an airplane wing. This report, prepared for the Bureau of Aeronautics January 15, 1925, contains the experimental results of tests on six 5 by 30 inch N-20 wing models, cut out or distorted in different ways, which were conducted in the 8 by 8 foot wind tunnel of the Navy Aerodynamical Laboratory in Washington in 1924. The measured and derived results are given without correction for vl/v for wall effect and for standard air density, p=0.00237 slug per cubic foot."

"The influence of different orifices on the result of measuring the same pressure distributions is the subject of this note. A circular cylinder is exposed to an air stream perpendicular to its axis and its pressure distribution is repeatedly determined. The pressures measured on the downstream half of the cylinder do not change for the orifice sizes used in the tests" (p. 1).

Describes the characteristics of anthracnose, the damage it causes to red clover in the southern part of the Clover Belt, and methods of control; also discusses the development of strains of red clover resistant to anthracnose.
