MEMORANDUM For Record
Subject Report of conference call ed by Mr John F Victory on September 22 1949 to discuss the Annual Inspection of the Lewis Laboratory
~
Those present MessrsJF Vict ory W Bonney R C Sessions WE ~
Emley Jr EG Sharp S Calmer A Silverstein ~ EJ Manganiello W Hunter M Hood (Ames) and
D Wiley (Ames ) I ~
bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
- 4 shy
t
the job with ent husi asm Thi s requires an educat ional program
(3) When speaking of our work we might emphasize to a gr eater extent the teamwork between the military services industry and the NACA using theYord nve as referring to such a team The use of the expression Air Forces is vague and misleading Preferably we should speak of t he military services or to be more specific of the Air Force the Navy the Bureau of Aeronautics etcbullbull

MEMORANDUM For Record
Subject Report of conference call ed by Mr John F Victory on September 22 1949 to discuss the Annual Inspection of the Lewis Laboratory
~
Those present MessrsJF Vict ory W Bonney R C Sessions WE ~
Emley Jr EG Sharp S Calmer A Silverstein ~ EJ Manganiello W Hunter M Hood (Ames) and
D Wiley (Ames ) I ~
bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
- 4 shy
t
the job with ent husi asm Thi s requires an educat ional program
(3) When speaking of our work we might emphasize to a gr eater extent the teamwork between the military services industry and the NACA using theYord nve as referring to such a team The use of the expression Air Forces is vague and misleading Preferably we should speak of t he military services or to be more specific of the Air Force the Navy the Bureau of Aeronautics etcbullbull

MEMORANDUM For Record
Subject Report of conference call ed by Mr John F Victory on September 22 1949 to discuss the Annual Inspection of the Lewis Laboratory
~
Those present MessrsJF Vict ory W Bonney R C Sessions WE ~
Emley Jr EG Sharp S Calmer A Silverstein ~ EJ Manganiello W Hunter M Hood (Ames) and
D Wiley (Ames ) I ~
bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
- 4 shy
t
the job with ent husi asm Thi s requires an educat ional program
(3) When speaking of our work we might emphasize to a gr eater extent the teamwork between the military services industry and the NACA using theYord nve as referring to such a team The use of the expression Air Forces is vague and misleading Preferably we should speak of t he military services or to be more specific of the Air Force the Navy the Bureau of Aeronautics etcbullbull

MEMORANDUM For Record
Subject Report of conference call ed by Mr John F Victory on September 22 1949 to discuss the Annual Inspection of the Lewis Laboratory
~
Those present MessrsJF Vict ory W Bonney R C Sessions WE ~
Emley Jr EG Sharp S Calmer A Silverstein ~ EJ Manganiello W Hunter M Hood (Ames) and
D Wiley (Ames ) I ~
bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
- 4 shy
t
the job with ent husi asm Thi s requires an educat ional program
(3) When speaking of our work we might emphasize to a gr eater extent the teamwork between the military services industry and the NACA using theYord nve as referring to such a team The use of the expression Air Forces is vague and misleading Preferably we should speak of t he military services or to be more specific of the Air Force the Navy the Bureau of Aeronautics etcbullbull

MEMORANDUM For Record
Subject Report of conference call ed by Mr John F Victory on September 22 1949 to discuss the Annual Inspection of the Lewis Laboratory
~
Those present MessrsJF Vict ory W Bonney R C Sessions WE ~
Emley Jr EG Sharp S Calmer A Silverstein ~ EJ Manganiello W Hunter M Hood (Ames) and
D Wiley (Ames ) I ~
bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
- 4 shy
t
the job with ent husi asm Thi s requires an educat ional program
(3) When speaking of our work we might emphasize to a gr eater extent the teamwork between the military services industry and the NACA using theYord nve as referring to such a team The use of the expression Air Forces is vague and misleading Preferably we should speak of t he military services or to be more specific of the Air Force the Navy the Bureau of Aeronautics etcbullbull

bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
- 4 shy
t
the job with ent husi asm Thi s requires an educat ional program
(3) When speaking of our work we might emphasize to a gr eater extent the teamwork between the military services industry and the NACA using theYord nve as referring to such a team The use of the expression Air Forces is vague and misleading Preferably we should speak of t he military services or to be more specific of the Air Force the Navy the Bureau of Aeronautics etcbullbull

MEMORANDUM For Record
Subject Report of conference call ed by Mr John F Victory on September 22 1949 to discuss the Annual Inspection of the Lewis Laboratory
~
Those present MessrsJF Vict ory W Bonney R C Sessions WE ~
Emley Jr EG Sharp S Calmer A Silverstein ~ EJ Manganiello W Hunter M Hood (Ames) and
D Wiley (Ames ) I ~
bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
- 4 shy
t
the job with ent husi asm Thi s requires an educat ional program
(3) When speaking of our work we might emphasize to a gr eater extent the teamwork between the military services industry and the NACA using theYord nve as referring to such a team The use of the expression Air Forces is vague and misleading Preferably we should speak of t he military services or to be more specific of the Air Force the Navy the Bureau of Aeronautics etcbullbull

Subject Report of conference call ed by Mr John F Victory on September 22 1949 to discuss the Annual Inspection of the Lewis Laboratory
~
Those present MessrsJF Vict ory W Bonney R C Sessions WE ~
Emley Jr EG Sharp S Calmer A Silverstein ~ EJ Manganiello W Hunter M Hood (Ames) and
D Wiley (Ames ) I ~
bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
- 4 shy
t
the job with ent husi asm Thi s requires an educat ional program
(3) When speaking of our work we might emphasize to a gr eater extent the teamwork between the military services industry and the NACA using theYord nve as referring to such a team The use of the expression Air Forces is vague and misleading Preferably we should speak of t he military services or to be more specific of the Air Force the Navy the Bureau of Aeronautics etcbullbull

(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear

(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough

~
Those present MessrsJF Vict ory W Bonney R C Sessions WE ~
Emley Jr EG Sharp S Calmer A Silverstein ~ EJ Manganiello W Hunter M Hood (Ames) and
D Wiley (Ames ) I ~
bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on

~

Emley Jr EG Sharp S Calmer A Silverstein ~ EJ Manganiello W Hunter M Hood (Ames) and
D Wiley (Ames ) I ~
bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
- 4 shy
t
the job with ent husi asm Thi s requires an educat ional program
(3) When speaking of our work we might emphasize to a gr eater extent the teamwork between the military services industry and the NACA using theYord nve as referring to such a team The use of the expression Air Forces is vague and misleading Preferably we should speak of t he military services or to be more specific of the Air Force the Navy the Bureau of Aeronautics etcbullbull

bull 1 A summary of t he suggest i ons and criticisms is given below
~
(a) General arrangements schedules handling of guests etc bull
(I) We should give as close as possible attention to the timing of the inspecti on so it does not conflict with other
events i n the community or events that the people we invite are interest ed i n
(2) Introduce the group leaders at the morning meetingbull The group leader should in turn introduce his assistants on
~ the fir st bus ride It woul d be well also for the group leader to tell the guests to feel free to ask questions
--~
(3) The leaders should be distributed through the bus
(4) Cleveland emplqyees should have a distinctive badge perhaps a different shape
(5) Mr Victory stated that he was i mmensely pleased and knew the Committee would be at the excel lent t eamwork between the laboratories
(6 ) The continuity theme that was used t his year was excellent but more clockwi se attention will have to be given to the tour in order to preserve the continuity of the theme
(b) Invi tations and att endance
(1) The attendance of the military is so unpredictable that we might consider breaking the military d~ into two d~s with a quota for each d~ f or the number of people to
-~ - 2 shy
come from Wright Field If two days is unsatisfactory we could limit Wright Field attenda~ce to 100 In any case a quota seems advisable - it commands attention If we are to start a new relationship with Wright Fiel d Mr Vic tory stated that now would be the time t o start inasmuch as the new Commanding General General Chidlaw is very friendly
(c) Demonstrations subject matter of t alks and clearances
(1) Have fewer NAGA Headquarters people necessary to approve t he text of the l ectures and the brochure Have them all review the material at t he same time and r ecommendations be submitted to the Laboratory at one time
(2) Summarize at the end of each talk and do it very simp~ Tell what you are going to tell them - s~ it - and then tell them what you told them
bull (3) Mr Bonney reported that Adm Richardson had s t ated to him t hat the level of presentat ion was just about right this year I t was high enough so people would not t hink they were wasting their time coming but was stated so most of them could understand it
(d) Detai l s of exhibit s properties and presentati on
(1) Raise the speakers at the morning meeti ng about a Y foot by usi ng a stand Avoid use of t he stage however
because of its formality
(2) Raise the exhibits and demonstration speakers high enough t o be seen by all
(3) Remember that persons sitti ng in the seats in front block the view of those in the rear and t ake this into consideration when checking to see if the exhibits demonstrations
I and speakers are high enough
(4) Provide more comfor t able chairs and suff icient chairs t o accommodate any possible overflow
(5) All visitor s must be able to see and hear and in providing f or this take into consideration t he maximum possible attendance
(6) At t he 8 x 6 Supersonic Tunnel some of the audience had to stand or sit in positions from which they could not see or hear
~-
(7) The level of color was correctbull
(8) The austerity was just about right
- 3 shy
(9) The backdrop material did not give t he effect of expensive It was something obviously put together quickly vdth little expense but was in good taste
(10) Mr Victory did not like the use of charts with portions blocked off as was done at the 81 x 6 1 Supersonic Tunnel demonstration Rather than this he suggested the use of an arrow or a box around the words which are being emphasized so as to leave the whole chart readable
yen
(11) Mr Victory commpnded the Laboratory on the 81 x k 61 small tu~~el stunt However it was so tricky and clever
it appeared to be faked bull
bull ~ (12) At the Altitude Wind Tunnel the first of the
younger speakers was monotonous and his voice did not hold the interest of the audience
- ~ (13) The 8 x 6 tunnel and the compressor
demonstrations were too long ~
(e) Press ~ ~
(1) It is verr desirable to have a press conference at the end of the day in t he press room with a man fully qualified to answer spot questions and not set fouled up and whose react ions are fast
~ (2) The press arrangements this year were handled far
better than th~ ever were and radio coverage was excel lent
_ (3) fhe brochure is to be suggestive to the reader of what he saw and heard I t might be well as a r eminder to show a picture of the setups However a picture reproduced in booklet size might be too small to show enough
(4) We might consider having separate illustrations for ~ the brochure possibly only 4 or 5 charts especially made
j-
for the brochure
(5) Everrthing possible should be done to permit earlier pUblication of the brochure but at t he same time i t must serve i ts purpose of reminding the visit ors of what t hey have seen and heard
(f) Basic policies
(1) Visitors should not be required to sit at one spot more than 25 minutes at the absolute maximum and 20 minutes is preferable
(2) The l aboratorr personnel must know and realize the importance of the inspections and realize that they must do
