August 17, 1973
The Pressure Systems Committee met at 9:00a.m., Friday, August 17, 1973'-;in Roo:n 149, Lt,·ilding 1244C. The purpose of this n1ceting was to consider a request for clearance to resu'1:e design pressure op~ration of the L0\'1 Turbulence Pre~sure Tunnel (LTPT). The tunnel operating pressure is currently limited to 105 psig, whereas the original design pressure is 135 psig.

The committee unanimously recommended· approval of the request to return to opPration in t\·Jo steps. The first step \'IOuld permit immedic.tc operation at l27. 5 psig subject to a temperature restriction as shm,m on the attached figure. The second step up to the design pressure of 135 psig would be permitted after successful completion of a full ultrasonic examination and·

These presentations indicated that at 127.5 psig the · requirements of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code, Section 8, Division I, are basically met. After completion of the ultrasonic testing and replacement of two nozzle-penetrations, operation at 135 psig will be equivalent to the requir·ements of the Code.

MEMORANDUM For Assistant Chief, Fall-Boale Research Division
Subject: Additional engineeriDg perscmnel requirements for S-Foot Tunnels Branoh
1. ln the recent Slllmll&r1 ot eDgineering requirements submitted to the division office, the needs for experienced engineers that might be hired from industr7 were enumerated. The following needs are for less experienced Emgineering perscmnel.
2. Perhaps the greatest need for nev persoDnel is to provide add1 tional GDginears to oarry out the actual tests in the two rao111 ties of' the branch. At the present time, all ot the engineeriug persoD!lel except the Branch Head work approximatel7 20 percent of their time as shift engineers. The average rating ot these engineers is about 08-12 or GB-13. While the shift work so carried out is absolutel7 essential to the functioning of' the branch, it does not utilize the capabilities of the engineers involved to anyvhel'e near their teolmiaal oapabill ties. The use of less experienced, but competent, young eDgineers in place ot these personnel in runn1 ng the shifts in the taoili ties would provide a tar more satisfaator,y utilization of eDgineering manpower.
3. Further, because of the lack of 7oung engineers, most of the experienced engineers in the branch car.r,r out a number or aeoondar.1 analyses which require an effort signitioantly below their capabilities. Newer engineers could be assigned these eeaondary analyses.
4. The tvo facilities of the S-Foot Tunnels Branch are operated at significantly less than their capabilities. As a result, the backlog or vork tor these facill ties continues to grow rather than shr1Dk. AdcU.tional engineering and mechanical personnel would allow us to operate
·-.both these raoill ties on a two-shirt basis to reduce the backlog of -~rtant research in these facilities.
. 5. New engineers assigned to the branch would be assigned }B'Oject .: responsibili t7 tor the secondary' phases or the important, broad-scale i1·: programs such as the supersonic transport, the lifting air-breathiDg
I
\ /boc>sters, an4 novel space vehicles such as the microm.eteori te tlexed-td.Dg ~ tcontiguration now being prepared tor tests.
\/., 6. The preliminary results obtained in the supereODie traDSport and r~- ~breath!Dg booster programs indicate that the approaches being used
;' fl#AY result in very significant improvements in the oapabili ties of suoh v~~cles. These approaches must be explo1 ted to the fUllest. Sinoe

ever, research engineer on the 8-toot staff at the present time ia oal'rJ'iDg out at least two major research projeots, any expansion of our research must require additional persormel.
7. At least tour new ~ eDgineers vould be required to expand the operations of the branch to the level aonsidered adequate.

Dear Dick:
October 15, 1965
We were very pleased to receive final confirmation of approval of the continuation of our double-delta research. We continued working through September and to date in anticipation of the approval, and I understand that our research administrator has made arrangements to bill NASA retroactively to September 1.
In August, Alan Faye of the Ames Research Center was in Hichita to pick up a Cessna 310, and he paid us a visit. He was very interested in our work, especially as it relates to their flight test program with the Ogive Wing FSD. Alan invited me to visit Ames to see some of their work firsthand, ~~-d I believe it would be in the interest of the project to dc1 so. I am therefore planning a trip to Ames in mid-November which would allow me to attend the AIAA Aircraft Design and Operations meeting in Los Angeles during the same absence. I propose to bill the grant for expenses for the Ames visit, with the University paying additional expenses incurred by the side trip to Los Angeles. Do you have any objections to such an arrangement?
We are currently engaged in the following activities under the grant:
1. Exploratory investigations of simple leading edge modifications.
2. Construction and calibration of probes for additional flow field surveys.
3. Analysis of flow field maps obtained previously.
Dr. Richard T. Whitcomb Page 2 October 15, 1965

Proposal No. 3388C-A
DIREC_T LABOR RATES
The direct labor rates used in this proposal are representative of current weighted average levels which are escalated at the rate of appli.cnble percentages per annum. These percentage factors have been approved b,y the Naval Plant Representative Office, Long Reach, (riAVPLAtiTP.EPO, LD) and reflect labor rate growth experience of rrior yP.ar~.
Ho royalty payments are anticipated.
OVERHFAD AND GENERAL AND ADNINISTHATIVE RATES -----·-- ·-- ··--To explaj.n the methodology used in this proposal to project overhead and administrative rates, the following is submitted:
1. The projection of overhead rates is based primarily on an analysis of actual overhead expenses and the related actual direct labor cost. The amount of expenses indicated b.y the trends from the analysis of actual expenses for prior years is modified to reflect known or anticipated changes for such items as property taxes, payroll taxes and insurance, contributions to the employe 1 s pension plan, electronic computer rentals, and research and development expenses. This method has been successfully used for maqr years and has been proven to produce the most realistic projected rates.
2. The direct labor cost used to determine the projected rates is developed b.y extending the projected direct labor hours b,y the projected wage rates for the applicable period. Projected direct labor includes firm and anticipated business and is an integral part of management p!anning. Potential new business, militar,y and commercial, together with current contracted backlogs has been analyzed to determine direct labor and indirect expense requirements during the projected performance period.
3. Under current procedure practice, bid rates are negotiated for certain periods of time and are reviewed periodically. These negotiated rates are used on all proposals vhere the additional effort represented b,y the proposal task is not large enough to affect the labor base. On file with the Naval Plant Representative at Long Beach is a comprehensive detailed summar,y of the Aircraft Division rate projection. These rates m~ be verified b.Y calling the NAVPLANTREPO, LB, telephone (213) 421-2711, extension 3221.

Proposal No. 3388C-A
GOVEJOOtENT SURPLUS
The Contractor warrants that the performance of any contract which may result herefrom does not propose the use of components obtained from Government surplus or residual inventory resulting from terminated Government contracts.
Et·:FLOYPENT ANp __ l4\BOJt_8J!I{J1US
The offeror bas a total of 87,494 employes including affiliates and/or f'llthsidiarjes as of 25 June 1967. The offeror proposes to accomplish the work m1der the proposal in plant at Long Beach, California, which is not in an "area of substantial and persistent labor surplus" or listed by the Department of Labor monthly publication "Area Labor Hnrket Trends" or as individually certified by the Department of Labor according to a request made b,y offeror.
FACILITIES
The Contractor's facilities are adequate for the program of work detailed in Douglas Technical Proposal 3388T. Subcontractine ~..rill not be r~q~ired for any phase of the proposed procram.
Prouosal No. 338UC-A
TE!f··1S AND co;IDI'l'IOflS ---~------------
The estimated costs and schedule presented herein for accomplishing the program of work as defined in the technicA.l prO!)OSal and in response to NASA Rectuest L-Bh17 are based on:
(a) i\ ~J-r.1onth pcrj nu of performance including reports.
(b) Het::eipt and accentu.nc~ n f n..uthori ty to procceri on or uefore 13 October J.tl(J7.
(c) The ,;overm!tent furnls:1int.i machine ciw.ract8rist.ics, confip;ur:J.tion, conditions and 70SJl~ machine time for ue~onstrations noted, and. a list of standard NASJ\ computer subroutines and report manuals.
(d) l~ent-free use of the Government-o'..!neu facilities is currently available to the Contractor under navy Contract UO-..r u230. It is anticipated tlmt these facilities ~o~ill be available for use on the proposed program on n non-interfe~ence basis. rioted facility contract bears no fixell termination date, but C.ocs contain approprig,te terminn.tion provisions. The Naval Plant Heprcsento.tive Office, Long Bench, is ti1e cor:nizant Governme!lt O.Kency, telephone ( 213) 1•21-2711, extensior. 3~~21.
While it is recOt·~!lit~ed that N/\SJ\ contemplo.tes a fixed price contract, the nature of this program does not lend itself to this type of a contract and it is therefore re']_uestcd that any resultant contract be a cost-plusfixell-fee type embodying appropriate and mutually acceptable contract provisions as usually applied to research and development contracts. In the interest of simplified procurement, it is requested that applicable contract provisions be selected from HASJ\ - Douglas Cost Heimbursement Basic Agreement t!o. NAf)7 -452. Sa.id Agreement \.,as executed by the !I~t ional 1\eror:.autics and Space Administration ('..lestcrn Or)erations Office) and the Douglas }\ircr~ft Company, Inc., c:ffcctlve 25 October l~lGG.
The Contractor t~ill !1olu this proposal firm for a [_)eriod of ninety (90) days from date hereof, after '..rhi.ch time the Contractor reserves the rig~lt to I'·2VieH and undnte as deemed nec:cssn.ry.

Temporary employment of Mr. Charles A. Clarke as Operations Engtneer at the 8-Foot Tunnels Branch
The retirement of Mr. Charles A. Clarke tn May of thia year and tbe fact that he has not been replaced has left the 8-foot transentc pressure
{ tunnel without an operatfons engineer since that time.. Aany of ·-... Mr. Clarkes • former duttea, by necesst ty, have been absorbed by a
. , number of Branch personnel resulting fn a notable dt Jutfan of thetr · efforts in thetr primary job asatpmeats. Further. because of the
existing Branch workload ami the critical fmportance of the programs \>dlrich are underway \ittbin the Branch, m single Individual frem the exfstfng staff can be aasfgned to assume a11 of Mr. C1arlces' former duties, therefore, the conttmatty fnvolved in arranging for aacl documeDting test equipment for and modtflcations to tltfs major wtncltunnel fact1ft)' and tts supporting eqtpment baa been effectfve1y 1ost. If CORtinuecl ever an extended period of ttme this procedure can on1y result in a ccmstderable loss In operating efftctency.
An obvious solution to the exlstfag problem ts to obtain a permanent replacement fer Mr. C1arke. It fs uaderstaod, hbever, that fn view of current personnel cel1fngs, such a solution. ts not posatb1e. It is reflUEJSted. therefore, that Mr. Clarke, ff avaf 1able, be hired on a temporary basts unti 1 such tfme aa a permanent replacement can be obtained tn order to alleviate the situatfOA deSCf'tbed above. The empl~t cost, without questton. would be far outweighed by the savfngs tn both tfme aftCI money that would accrue from hfs employment. It fs judged that even iatermtttaat, short term, anpiOJID8Ilt t.EOUid be of great help tn opef'atton of the 8-foot transonic pressure ttmnel.
