Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation of a model equipped with a 60 degree delta wing and a 60 degree delta horizontal all-movable canard control surface to determine the stability, control, and canard-surface hinge-moment characteristics at low speeds and at a Reynolds number of 9 x 10(exp 6). Two longitudinal positions of the canard surface were tested. Results regarding lift and pitching moment, drag, and hinge moment are provided.

Letter opinion issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin, Texas, providing an interpretation of Texas law. It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, John Ben Shepperd, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification; Salary increases for specified personnel of the judiciary under Senate Bill 2, Acts of Fifty-third Legislature , First Called Session.

Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the effects of jet exhaust and Reynolds number on the flow over the vertical stabilizer and rudder of the Douglas D-558-II research airplane with special attention to an understanding of the rudder reversals experienced in flight on the full-scale airplane. Tests were made at Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.93, and 2.41 over a range of ratios of jet static pressure to stream static pressure from the jet-off ratio to about 40 and for a maximum range of sideslip angles of 6 degrees. Results regarding the effect of varying jet static-pressure ratio, effect of varying sideslip angle, effect of varying Reynolds number, and effect of varying angle of attack.

Report presenting the aerodynamic stability derivatives and pitch and yaw control effectiveness of two full-scale guided bombs over a range of Mach numbers in free-flight drop tests. Results regarding performance information, roll control operation, and aerodynamic characteristics are provided.

Report discussing testing on a research model to obtain experimental drag and heat-transfer data under constant and varying conditions of Reynolds number and heating effects. Average body turbulent skin-friction-drag coefficients were determined for both constant and varying heating effect.

Report presenting an investigation on a canard ramjet missile configuration to determine its lift and drag characteristics at low values of lift. Two rocket-boosted models that differed only in the size and deflection of the canard were used. Information about the trim lift characteristics, drag, and stability is provided.

This gives a brief description on The Chemistry of Uranium(IV) Orthophosphate Solutions: Part 1. The Solubility of Uranium(IV) Orthophosphates in Phosphoric Acid Solutions.

Oxidation of the dissolver solution is required before processing through the Redox Plant. Two different Head-End treatment procedure have been used in the plant since start-up, the original one employing sodium dischrocate as the oxidant and the current one (initiated in May of 1953) employing potassium permanganate. In addition to oxidizing the plutonium, the permanganate Head-End procedure removes substantial quantities of radio-ruthenium (the fission product most difficult to remove by solvent extraction) from the IAF and, thus, benefits the overall decontamination of the uranium and plutonium products markedly. The purposes of this paper are: to describe briefly the dichromate and permanganate Head-End procedures and conditions of oxidation; to present and discuss the advantages of the permanganate procedure as compared with the dichromate procedure; and to present and discuss the disadvantages of the permanganate procedure and the difficulties associated with equipment maintenance when this process is utilized.

Describes the current prototype model of a linear amplifier, two-channel pulse-height analyser, two-channel count-rate meter, and count-rate difference detector for a gamma-ray spectrometer monitor developed to approach the above design criteria.

"Data on atmospheric turbulence in the vicinity of thunderstorms obtained during a flight evaluation of an experimental C band (5.5 cm) airborne radar are summarized. The turbulence data were obtained with an NACA VGH recorder installed in a United Air Lines DC-3 airplane" (p. 1).
