mounted as not to interfere with

steady velocity. these FIVE recording
beams come to a position of equilib-

be cut off from a master switch and
then the indications of the beams are
read by the observer who is making

In addition to the routine tests
which are made for the United States
Navy, this aerodynamical laboratory
occasionally makes commercial

industry. Such commercial tests are
extremely rare, as the Navy demands

The commission ruled that Mickey
