$500 MPH Airspeed Attained
In Novy's New Wind 7 unneI

Airspeeds corresponding to $500
miles an hour have been reached
in the new hypersonic wind tun-
mel at the Naval Ordnance Lab
oratory, White Oak. Md, it was
disclosed yesterday.
The tunnel is a part of the
Navy's aerobalhstics research IA
cility used for basic and applied
research on rockets. missiles and
aerodynamic design.
Up until the recent tests. high
est speed attained by air forced
through the 16-inch tunnel was
about 1850 miles an hour.
Navy scientists reported ex-
treme difficulty in measuring the
actual speed at such a velocity
because of the almost instantan-
eous temperature drop exper-
fenced in the tunnel from the
time the air entered the working

section where the model was
tested until the air left the Sec
tion.
Although the full distance. is
only three feet. the air cooled
from a temperature well over
the boiling point of water to
nearly 420 degrees below zero.
Some of the air, they explained,
may have become liquified at the
extremely low temperature which
made velocity determination diff
ficult.
Scientists emphasized that the
attainment of the 7,500-mile speed
does not mean that missiles will
be able to travel at such a velo-
city in the forseeable future.
They pointed out, however, that
the ability to create such velocity
is an important step in basic
research involving air speeds
greater than those now being
studied.

Construction Started
On New 'Y' Building

A contract for construction of
the new "Y' building on North
First Avenue at a cost of 81 ,O85, 900
was signed with E. w. Duhame
April 8. Plans call for occupancy
by September, 1851.
Duhame's bid of 81, ,285, 900 based
on original plans, was low, but it
was necessary to revise specifica-
tions to bring the cost within range
of funds available. The contract
price was not arrived at until
weeks were spent revising 105
items in the original plans several
times.
The exterior of the seven-story
building will be completed accord
ing to the original design, but some
interior portions, though usable,
must wait the finishing touches
provided in original specifications
until some future date.
With construction starting i'm
mediately, Hugh c. Gruwell, treas
urer, appealed to subscribers to
ring all pledges up to date. Con-
struction began this week with ex-
cavation for the buildings base
