Report presenting an investigation to obtain data on the vertical and horizontal gusts in the atmosphere by reworking accelerometers and airspeed records from past investigations of vertical gusts. The results indicate that the vertical and horizontal gusts are of about equal intensity in the atmosphere.

Report presenting testing of a steel cylinder barrel with aluminum fins in order to evaluate the effect of using preformed aluminum fins on a steel barrel or aluminum barrel. Results regarding the heat-transfer tests and physical tests are provided.

"A unit injector was operated under various test conditions with a cam outline giving a high rate of plunger displacement. The rate of discharge of the unit injector followed the plunger displacement for the outwardly opening injection valve (open nozzle) except under conditions of high fuel pressures when the effect of fuel compressibility decreased the rate of discharge as the pressure increased. The rate of discharge for the inwardly opening injection valve (closed nozzle) did not directly follow the plunger displacement" (p. 1).
