4. Earlier in 1954, Dr. Heinz Soehngen2 from Darmstadt, West Germany, gave two
guest lectures:
a. On the theory of the final Hilbert transformation (sic) (Zur Theorie der
endlichen Hilberttransformation) and
b. Aerodynamic forces on oscillation grids (turbine blades etc.) (Luftkraefte
an Rohwingenden Gittern (Turb-inenschaufeln usw).
5. During 1954, the Institute of Tensile Strength studies has been engaged on a research
task, that of the development and construction of an experimental tank (Wasserkanal)
