THE AERONlAMA LABORATORY OF THE
VIENNA TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL.*
By
R. Katmayr and L, Kirsbo.
This year the aerodynamical liooratory of the VAenna Teoh-
nical High School celebrates its tenth anniversary. This lab-
orato-y was begun in 1911, with the construction of the small
b nilding in the second quadrangle of the school. The equipment
of the laboratory is very interesting, though little known, in
spite of the fact that a great deal of important work was done
there during the war and that numberless problems q.ill oome up
for solution in the ooming time of neace, problems relating not
only to the soienoe of aviation and aerostatics, but also to
many kindred subjects.
A detailed description of the laboratory and its equipment
appeared in 1914.* Its equipment differs greatly from that of
other 16boratories and all the latest devioes are used, both in
the distribution of pressure in the various chambers and also
in the measuring devices. Although the designer, Prof.' Ing.
Riohard Knoller, was not able to make any preliminary experi-
ments, he suooeeded so well in his work that no modifications
ere needed, except a slight change in the electri installa-
tion.* From "der Zeitechrift des Oesterr. Ingenieur und Arohiteoten
Vereines," No. 38/39, September, 1921.

Nos. 7 and 8.
