PROCESSOR 5 PR
STAT is aiming to have several major things accomplished by
March 1, 1965.
The clean room completed, tested and ready for operation
STAT
b) Liquid bearing design parameters established: pressure
profile, flow profile, cushion load, optimum slot
design, cushion height vs film speed, etc#
c) Floating tow rig operating and producing data on film
drag.
d) A tank modular concept established with a spacial mock
up completed to illustrate the features.
e) Compilation of known film data applicable to the
program.
March 1 is the earliest that thinks he will have significant STAT
results. He does not believe a accomplishment will be definitive
STAT by February 1. has relegated the pressure drop tests of
the smoothbore s a .n ess pipe and fittings to a lower priority.
The clean room installation is in full swing and is absorbing about
ST A half of 0 time. ~~ The floor steel is in place and the flooring
(2 thicknesses of 3/4" plywood) installed, and levelled. The
vinyl tile floor covering is nearly complete.
The single slot liquid bearing tests have continued. By
producing a pressure profile along the slot which has high pressure
at the ends and lower pressure in the middle they have noted an
encouraging self centering tendency. The opposite profile (i.e.
high pressure at the center and low pressure at the ends) produces
an unstable centering situation and the film tends to slide off
the bearing.
The November progress report was on time, manpower on the job has
increased and the whole pace of the program has picked up.
