The Aileron as an Aid to Recovery From the Spin

From Introduction: "In order to afford a means of comparison and to obtain a clear understanding of the results, a study of the effects of normal angular deflections of the ailerons, with and against the spin, was included in the investigation. Ailerons deflected with the spin means that the ailerons are deflected with right aileron up and left aileron down in a right spin. The results of the investigation are discussed in this paper."

Ionization in the Knock Zone of an Internal-Combustion Engine (open access)

Ionization in the Knock Zone of an Internal-Combustion Engine

"The ionization in the knock zone of an internal-combustion engine was investigated. A suspected correlation between the intensity of knock and the degree of ionization was verified and an oscillation in the degree of ionization corresponding in frequency to the knock vibrations in the cylinder pressure was observed" (p. 1).
