Interim report No.1, PT-105-403-P, installation and initial operation

Description: The effect of temperature on the properties of graphite is being determined by exposing samples to pile neutrons at controlled temperatures in the range 75 C to 225 C. The first series of samples were charged into the newly installed dry, water-cooled test channel at B pile on January 23, 1951. This report presents details of the charging operation and observations noted during the initial operation of the test.

Effect of Formation Position on Load Factors Obtained on F2H Airplanes

Description: Report presenting results of a four-plane formation flight with twelve pull-up maneuvers in the form of plots of maximum load factor attained versus airplane position for three combinations of four F2H airplanes. The load factor was generally found to increase toward the end of the formation, and movements of the lead plane that are too sharp might cause excessive loads on the last plane in the formation.
