Field measurements were made on a fighter airplane to determine the approximate magnitude of the horizontal tail loads in accelerated flight. In these flight measurements, pressures at a few points were used as an index of the tail loads by correlating these pressures with complete pressure-distribution data obtained in the NACA full-scale tunnel. In addition, strain gages and motion pictures of tail deflections were used to explore the general nature and order of magnitude of fluctuating tail loads in accelerated stalls.

This report discusses the Production Test 105-2-P (Supplement A) -- Activity of Pile Discharge Water. Previous studies of pile discharge water have shown that one of two processes is responsible for the large but variable amount of Mn{sup 56} activity present in the water. One process is the production of Mn{sup 56} by the reaction Mn{sup 55} on manganese impurity in the water. The amount of such impurity has been shown to be too small to produce the observed amount of Mn{sup 56} unless the mean irradiation time is increased by a large factor due to temporary sticking of manganese on the surfaces in the tubes. The other process is the production by the reaction Fe{sup 56} on iron in the film. The present production test was designed to determine which of these processes is responsible for the troublesome Mn{sup 56} activity and to what extent the activity is increased due to sticking of manganese or iron in the tubes. 4 figs.

Report discussing a study of automatic nonreturn air valves for use in an intermittent-jet engine. Four valve-spring materials, three valve-grill materials, and five types of valves were used. Valve A, which was made out of aluminum, was found to perform the best and last the longest.

Introduction. The main objective of the Metallurgical Project was the preparation of large quantities of plutonium 239, an isotope of element 94, by the interaction of neutrons and uranium. At the beginning, only predictions of its chemical and biological properties could be made since it is a new element. It was predicted that it would be toxic to tissue by virtue of its high atomic weight, and in addition, that it would be toxic by virtue of its radioactivity. Thus, the preparation and use of the element on a large scale meant the manipulation of, and possible exposure to, toxic quantities. It was, therefore, of practical importance to obtain data which would elaborate on the predicted toxicity. The objectives of the work reported here were to establish the acute toxicity of plutonium in experimental animals and to study the distribution of the element in the body after the administration of a wide range of doses. In the interest of economy of what was, at that time, a rare substance, and of animals and facilities, these two objectives were frequently pursued in the same experiment. The information obtained from the separate experiments is therefore frequently incomplete in one or another respect. …
