                   Trip Report to Petroit,Michigan, May 19, through 25, 1968









                          The writer spent the week of May 20, 1968 at the Central Engineering


                   Offices at Highland Park and one day, Thursday, at the Chelsea Michigan

                   Proving Ground for the purpose of working on the race car aerodynamic test

                   program and follow-up on several potential areas of new business.


                          The aerodynamic effort occupied most of the weeks activity. Current

                   efforts are directed toward fabrication of a 3/8 seal           Q  n  lay model of the 1968

                   Charger which will be us       C   D  CL  as a mold pattern for a plastic wind tunnel model.


                   The fabrication of this model was directed and coordinated with the expected


                   race car configurations to be tested. The proving grounds was visited to view

                   the Charger race car and gather pictures and data for the model activity.

                          Other activities in the area of potential new business are reported in the


                   following:

                          1. Critical Fastener Torque:


                                 I discussed our current approach to measurement and control of

                   torquing operations with Mr. R. Mosher. He seemed pleased and stated the


                    roblem is/yin our hands since he has no time to follow it. He is extremely

                   interested in seeing drawings and hardwa            C D  eflecting our design detail as soon

                   as practical.


                          2. Engine Performance Indicator System:

                                 Discussions were held with the following people regarding feasibility
