Papers: Meredith Effect and RR Merlin carburator T.O.
Hi all,
Quite a while ago, someone asked if there was access to the seminal paper
by F. W. Meredith on the "Meredith Effect":
"Note on the Cooling of Aircraft Engines with Special Reference to Ethylene
Glycol Radiators Enclosed in Ducts"
This is the start of the P-51 radiator.
I said, at the time I had the paper because I went to the Wright Patterson
AFB research dept to get it. But that I had to find it. Well it took me a
while but I found it.
I also have:
T.O. No. 02-55AC-2 The Note that describes the real reason behind engine
cutouts when pilots pushed over hard in their Merlin powered aircraft.
I can make these accessible to the group at large if people are interested.
Thanks,
