Report presenting lift, drag, and pitching-moment coefficients, lift-drag ratios, and center-of-pressure positions for four airplane-like configurations determined from tests at a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. The wings and nose shapes were modified for each of the configurations.

Report presenting the results of oscillation tests to measure the dynamic-rotary stability derivatives of an airplane model at high subsonic speeds. Measurements taken included the damping in pitch, damping in yaw, damping in roll, and the yawing moment due to rolling velocity.

From Introduction: "Numerous tests of tip controls on delta wings at transonic and low supersonic speeds have shown that such configurations provide satisfactory rolling-moment effectiveness, and that the hinge can be controlled by proper location of the hinge line (ref. 1). The purpose of the present tests is to determine the characteristics of such a configuration at Mach number of 4.04 and a Reynolds number of 5.8 X 10^6, based on the wing mean aerodynamic chord."

Report presenting an investigation of a configuration of a body of fineness ratio 16.9, an unswept wing of aspect ratio 3, and a taper ratio of 0.4, and incline tail surfaces who was aeropulsed continuously in pitch during free flight with and without a sustainer rocket motor operating. A range of Mach numbers from 0.8 to 2.1 was tested. Results regarding drag, normal force and pitching moment, flow conditions at the horizontal tail, buffeting and model vibrations, and cross coupling are provided.

The status of research is reviewed in a study of pulmonary granulomatosis in beryllium workers. Equipment for use in dust exposure studies is described. Preliminary results are reported from studies on the tissue distribution and pathological effects of beryllium dust in rats; the physical chemistry of solutions of beryllium salts; the effects of beryllium on enzyme systems, and the effects of ascorbic acid on beryllium excretion.

The preparation, pre-irradiation testing, and encapsulation of stainless- U cored, plate-type fuel elements for irradiation in;tagnant sodium are discussed The eight specimens for Experiment PW-5-1 are examined. (auth)

Report regarding the installation and testing of a neutron crystal spectrometer. This was part of a slide show presentation.

Report presenting "the determination of absolute gamma emission rates for monoenergetic gamma emitters using a single-channel scintillation spectrometer. Examples are given for Cr⁵¹, Cs¹³⁷, Nb⁹⁵, and Zn⁶⁵. Sources of error are discussed and steps being taken to improve the accuracy of the method are described" (p. 1).
