Report presenting a series of tests to determine the bearing yield and ultimate strengths of samples of 1/4- and 2-inch-thick plate of aluminum alloy 24S-T and to establish nominal ratios of bearing-to-tensile properties for the commercial range of plate thicknesses. Results regarding individual bearing testing, ratios of average bearing to tensile properties, and ratios of bearing yield strength to tensile yield strength are provided.

Note presenting measurements of heat flow to air at subsonic velocities and substantially constant Reynolds number, which show that the heat-transfer coefficient is independent of the difference between the temperature of the heated wall and the adiabatic wall temperature. Recovery factors are measured at the pipe wall for adiabatic flow.

"Experimental data on the heats of combustion and hydrogen contents of a number of aviation gasolines have been used in deriving a formula for computing net heat of combustion from (measured) gross heat of combustion. This formula appears to be sufficiently reliable for the purpose and has the advantage of making hydrogen determinations unnecessary. The data on heats of combustion are presented in tabular form, and in graphs showing the relation between net heat of combustion and (1) hydrogen content, (2) aniline point, (3) APO gravity, and (4) the product of aniline point and APO gravity" (p. 1).
