Plow.
Patent for a new and improved plow. This design "relates to improvements in plows, particularly to that portion of the plow known as the point; and it has for its object to produce a point that may be reversed, so that both ends may be utilized or may be made to project sufficiently to convert the plow into a sub-soil plow. To this end the invention consists of a blade with two or both sets of bolt-holes and a double-ended point with holes nearer one end than the other" (lines 11-21).

Estimated deceleration of airplane nose section jettisoned at various altitudes and airspeeds
Memorandum presenting calculations made to determine the deceleration at any time after jettisoning of an airplane nose-section design typical of those which have been proposed as escape devices for high-speed airplanes. The decelerations were determined by two methods, one using successive approximations requiring graphical integration and the other giving reasonably close approximations by direct computation.

Longitudinal-control effectiveness and downwash characteristics at a Mach number of 1.24 of a 1/30-scale semispan model of the Bell X-5 airplane as determined by the NACA wing-flow method
Report presenting an investigation at a Mach number of 1.24 using the NACA wing-flow method to determine the longitudinal-control effectiveness and downwash characteristics of a scale semispan model of the variable-sweep Bell X-5 airplane with the wind swept back at several different degrees. Lift, drag, and pitching moments were obtained for various angles of attack for several horizontal tail settings and with the tail off for each angle of sweep of the wing.

Acceleration Characteristics of R-3350 Engine Equipped with NACA Injection Impeller
From Summary: "Qualitative investigations have shown that use of the NACA injection impeller with the R-3350 engine increases the inertia of the fuel-injection system and, when the standard fuel-metering system is used, this increase in inertia results in poor engine acceleration characteristics. This investigation was therefore undertaken to determine whether satisfactory acceleration characteristics of the engine equipped with the injection impeller could be obtained by simple modifications to the fuel-monitoring system. The engine was operated with two types of carburetor; namely, a hydraulic-metering carburetor incorporating a vacuum-operated accelerating pump and a direct-metering carburetor having a throttle-actuated accelerating pump."

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Republic F-105 Inlet with Various Modifications at Mach Numbers 1.41, 1.81, and 2.01
"A 1/13-scale Republic F-105 wing-root inlet configuration in which inlet components were varied was tested in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at Mach numbers of 1,41, 1.81, and 2,01 corresponding to Reynolds numbers per foot of 4,19 X 10(exp 6) , 3.74 X 10(exp 6) , and 3.46 x 10(exp 6) respectively. Angles of attack ranged from -4 deg to 15 deg and a few configurations were tested in a sideslip range from -8 deg to 4 deg. Inlet performance and engine-face flow distortions as affected by pitch, sideslip, inlet-lip sweep, contraction ratio, boundary-layer control, and engine bypass are presented and discussed" (p. 1).

Effects of internal configuration on afterburner shell temperatures
From Summary: "A brief investigation was conducted in the altitude wind tunnel to determine the extent to which the afterburner shell cooling problem could be alleviated by internal configuration changes. Data were obtained with and without a cooling liner installed and for variations in the radial fuel distribution and in the radial distribution in flame-seat area. Consideration is given to the effects on both shell temperature and afterburner performance."

Preliminary Investigation of the Total-Pressure-Recovery Characteristics of a 15 Degree Semiangle Movable-Cone Variable-Geometry Ram-Jet Inlet at Free-Jet Mach Numbers of 1.62, 2.00, 2.53, and 3.05
Report presenting an investigation of a 15 degree semiangle movable-cone variable-geometry ram-jet inlet to determine the variable-geometry effect on total-pressure recovery at free-jet Mach numbers of 1.62, 2.00, 2.53, and 3.05 at zero angles of attack and yaw. Generally, increasing the cowling-position parameter increased the value of both total-pressure recovery and mass-flow ratio. Results regarding the total-pressure recovery, shadowgraphs, and total-pressure recovery as a function of free-stream Mach number are provided.

The Design of Airplane Wing Ribs
"The purpose of this investigation was to obtain information for use in the design of truss and plywood forms, particularly with reference to wing ribs. Tests were made on many designs of wing ribs, comparing different types in various sizes. Many tests were also made on parallel-chord specimens of truss and plywood forms in place of the actual ribs and on parts of wing ribs, such as truss diagonals and sections of cap strips" (p. 223).

The measurement of fluctuations of air speed by the hot-wire anemometer
"The hot-wire anemometer suggests itself as a promising method for measuring the fluctuating air velocities found in turbulent flow. The only obstacle is the presence of a lag due to the limited energy input which makes even a fairly small wire incapable of following rapid fluctuations with accuracy. This paper gives the theory of the lag and describes an experimental arrangement for compensating for the lag for frequencies up to 100 or more per second when the amplitude of the fluctuation is not too great. An experimental test of the accuracy of compensation and some results obtained with the apparatus in a wind-tunnel air stream are described. While the apparatus is very bulky in its present form, it is believed possible to develop a more portable arrangement" (p. 359).
