Measurements made in a uranium cylinder result in a mean value of 1.55 cm. for the diffusion length L for distances of 1 to 4 cm. from the base of the cylinder. Calculations give a value which agrees with the experimental result and show further that L increases from 1.40 to 1.63 cm. as the neutrons diffuse a distance of 5 cm. into the uranium.

Report discussing testing on triptane, hot-acid octane, diisopropyl, neohexane, mixed xylenes, cumene, benzene, toluene, and methyl tert-butyl ether in several blends to determine their knock-limited performance data in F-3 and F-4 engines at standard operating conditions. All of the blending agents examined were found to be usable, with concentrations varying depending on various thermodynamic properties.

Warping of a rod by a variation in heat transfer coefficient around the periphery is considered. Estimates for some simple cases are given, and a more precise numerical calculation is carried out in ne instance.

Report presenting information regarding the development of a type GB-5 controllable glide bomb equipped with a target-seeking device. The model was tested on the six-component balance in order to measure the stability and control characteristics of the bomb in its original condition and with various modifications. Results regarding the effect of end plates on dihedral parameter, effect of vertical-tail arrangement on directional stability, aileron tests, and glide-path control are provided.

The change in the simple [formula] distribution of neutrons in a spherical lump of uranium caused by the distribution in velocities of thermal neutrons is calculated. If the calculated curve is fitted as well as possible by a simple [formula] curve, it is shown that the value of [formula] obtained in this way is a function of [formula], the radius of the sphere. For small radii the [formula] obtained in this manner will be as much as 25% greater than the [formula] corresponding to average velocity neutrons. The change in the thermal utilization caused by the distribution in velocities is discussed. The flux of neutrons into a sphere is calculated taking into account the velocity distribution and this is compared with the usual theory.

Report discussing an experiment in which films of boron were deposited on glass and on metals by the thermal deposition of diborane at tempertatures between 500 and 600°C.

Report concerning the behavior of atoms dislodged from their positions in solid constituents by neutrons during the transition from high energy to thermal energy.

A theoretical and experimental investigation has been made of the behavior of a cantilever beam in transverse motion when its root is suddenly brought to rest. Equations are given for determining the stresses, the deflections, and the accelerations that arise in the beam as a result of the impact. The theoretical equations, which have been confirmed experimentally, reveal that, at a given percentage of the distance from root to tip, the bending stresses for a particular mode are independent of the length of the beam, whereas the shear stresses vary inversely with the length.
