PROGRESS REPORT

1.

OBJECTIVES

It is the purpose of tills project to cany on research and testing,

develop specialised equipment and provide consultation services for the

.Airways i&gineering Division of the Office of Federal Airways, Civil

Aeronautics Administration.

2.

STATUS

At the beginning of the period covered by this report, all of the

research activities and three of the tests covered by this report were

in progress. At the close of the period two of the research activities

were nearing completion, and there was only one uncompleted test pending.

The work covered by this report is financed by ‘two separate funds, and

lienee two i.B*S. project numbers appear on the title page. A separate

financial summary is attached covering the charges against each of these

funds.

3.

GOvEiiDMCMT TESTS

The tests reported in this division of the report were made by

personnel other than those regularly assigned to the C.A.A. projects*

With one exception they are standard tests which could be covered by

simple reports. A 'brief summary of these tests follows :

Test No. Requested reported Bstiiaate tost

013593 6-18-53 7-21-53 100. ICG.

A fuel oil additive carrying the trade name "G0-SludgeR was analyzed

and found to be essentially a mixture of soluble oil of petroleum origin

and alcohols* As the result of this analysis it was agreed that it would

not be worth the expense to test the material further.

G1388? Test Canceled

Tills nuafcer was assigned to a propeller test which was canceled after

preliminary conferences because there were no funds available to cover the

work.

Glli.096 9-11-53 1C-6-53 |2tX3/$&GO* $386.

A field intensity meter was submitted for calibration at 118 megacycles.

Later, it was decided that the meter should be calibrated at 109 and 333

megacycles also. Still later, it was requested that the meter be calibrated

at 30 megacycles which required special arrangements. Difficulty was experienced in checking the linearity of the meter, but a satisfactory calibration was finally stained.

^Increased to cover additional work
