Extract

The purpose of this note is to call attention to the convenience of glass cloth/polyester resin laminates as a means of constructing certain parts of experimental apparatus, such as small ducts or nozzles.

The advantages of the material are that it is strong, light in weight, easily worked in that heat and pressure are not required, and a high degree of accuracy and surface finish are easily achieved. For the purposes considered here, convenience in fabrication is the main consideration, since it is easier to shape the outside of a suitable male mould rather than the inside of a small duct.
