NACA WARTIME REPORTS are reprints of papers originally issued to provide rapid distribution of advance research results to an authorized group requiring them for the war effort. They were pre- viously held under a security status but a re now unclassified. Some of these reports were not tech- nically edited. All have been reproduced without chmge in order to expedite general distribution.

Thus, f t would appear t h a t at% esperimental approach t o both problerae would be more f r u i t f u l .

Up t q t h e present tfme, no measurements have been made a t t h e GALCIT t o determine t h e e f f e c t of turbulencd upon mean-erpeed readings , but aoma greliminapy measure- ments have been carries out on t h e e f f e c t of turbulence upon hot-mtre readings of t h e turbulence.

The v i b r a t i n g device was t h e GAL019 v i b r a t o r , cons t ruc ted by F, Kaoblock and C. Thie le in 1837 f o r t h e purpose of determining hot-wire time-constant s t o permit proper, conpensation f o r thermal. lag, The hot-wire c i r c u i t was proper ly compensated, and t h e t r u e turbulence l e v e l determined ba measurement of t h e amplttude gnd frequency of t h e ~ a c i l l a t i o n and the speed of t h e a i r atroam.
