               L. G. Alexakos, Jr.                 4831                           Spac              Huntsville

               J. E. Vaughn                        4831                           Space             Huntsville

                     ress           on            to Automotive Wind Tunnel



               The 3/'8-scale model of the Charger was completed on July 17, 1968 and
               delivered to Department 3860 for instrumentation. We are now in the process
               of installing pressure orifices and building spoiler to mate to the model. The
               model will have to be returned to the paint shop for repainting since the initial
               job is completely unsatisfactory. The model will be shipped air freight on
               July 2 6, 1968 to be available at Wichita University on July 29, 1968, for testing.
               The Coronet and Plymouth "Road-Runner" models are still in manufacture and
               on a revised schedule due to some delays. The Coronet model will arrive at
               the tunnel one week after testing begins and the Plymouth will arrive three
               weeks after start of testing. These dates are satisfactory and will not delay
               tunnel testing.

               Pressure drop data across the race car radiator, requested from proving
               grounds, has not been received to date due to the unavailability of a race car
               for testing purposes. However, a car (Charger) will be available the week of
               July 22, 1968 and the data will be collected at that time. A Plymouth racer
               is not available so that the Dodge data will have to suffice for all models.
               (Should be sufficient although there is some difference in intake configuration).

               Lockheed Georgia called on July 10, 1968 to obtain additional information
               regarding tests scheduled for their facility beginning October 7, 1968. They
               related that their installation proposal with associated cost estimate will be
               forwarded by July 25, 1968. As of this writing. Bob Marcell has tentatively
               assumed responsibility for the full scale test effort.
