Vertical drop tests were completed on several explosives. Results are given and discussed. Oblique impact tests were performed on the extrusion cast explosive RX-08-AZ. No reactions were observed in the severest of impacts. Half-inch gap test series were performed on two lots of LX-09-0. Results are tabulated. No experimental work with the friction test apparatus was done this period
