Orders for WASP Gayle D. Ewing to ferry an aircraft from Grand Prairie, Texas to Newark, New Jersey with specifications on the plane model, flight order, and instructions upon arrival at her destination. The order is signed by Captain Joe K. Bailey and Ben Handler for Captain William S. Kirkpatrick.

Abstract: The counting accuracy of the Chicago Scalers, Models 961A and 961B, is a function of the bias setting of the limiter (V2). this report gives quantitative data supporting this thesis. A method of making bias settings is suggested. These tests were run at the suggestion of Mr. V. C. Hanson.

Letter from Donald Day to I. H. Kempner discussing an article from Lewis Nordyke for the Saturday Evening Post.

Abstract: Pure UO2F2 is made by reaction between anhydrous HF and pure UO3. Although it is difficult to prepare free of water, it is not very hygroscopic. Prolonged heating at 100-105 degrees releases 99.9% of the water in an aqueous solution; the rate of loss of water is very small after saturation is reached. X-ray diffraction data give a density of 6.2 for the solid. The density of a 1.004 M solution is 1.274; the density of a saturated solution (5.130 M) is 2.400. The densities of F-9 solutions have been calculated from the densities of ordinary aqueous solutions, and the values are compared graphically. Data on the solubility indicate that there is a small increase in the range 25-100 degrees. Recovery of pure F-9 from a solution is hampered by hydrolysis of U)2F2 to give HF. The HF may be held back by addition of UO3 or CaO; the use of the latter, however, makes more difficult the recovery of all the F-9. Molar conductivities of UO2F2 solutions at 25 degrees, as well as the specific conductivities of a 1 molar solution containing various concentrations of UO3, have been determined. The addition of UO3 lowers the conductivity. The low …

"The high-speed photographic investigation of the mechanics of spark-ignition engine knock recorded in three previous reports has been extended with use of the NACA high-speed camera and combustion apparatus with a piezoelectric pressure pickup in the combustion chamber. The motion pictures of knocking combustion were taken at the rate of 40,000 frames per second. Existence of the preknock vibrations in the engine cylinder suggested in Technical Report no.727 has been definitely proved and the vibrations have been analyzed both in the high-speed motion pictures and the pressure traces" (p. 223).
