Duramold Aircraft, plastic material for Aircraft structures.
In an investigation requested by the N.A.C.A,, 18 synthetic resins
hare been tested to determine their suitability for impregnating and bon**
ding wood veneers to form a reinforced plastic of the requisite strength
and stability for Aircraft construction.NIne hot-pressed and 3 coldpressed
phenol^ormaldehyderesins, one phenol-furfural resin, four urea-foraalde-
hyde resins and one vinyl acetal resin were investigated. Great differen-
ces irere observed in the tejf'mperatures and pressures required for obtaining
satisfactory bonds, and in resistence to delaminatdng when alternately wet-
ted and dried.
On the basis of these data three of these resins have been selected
as bonding and impregnating agents in the preparation of laboratory samples
of reinforced plastics for strength tests* These are a phenol~formaldehyde
resin which requires hot pressing to obtain good bond and cure, a phenol**
formaldehyde resin which cures at room temperature by catalytic action, and
a vinyl acei&lresin which is permanently thermoplastic and requires heat to
make it flow and effect a bond. These are representative of the resins
requ-ired for investigating 3 different methods of molding reinforced plastics,
namely 1.) use of pressure accompanied by thermal curing of the resin.
2*^application of pressure at room temperature accompanied by cats**
lytic curing of the resin, and
3.) use of heat and pressure with a permanently fusible resin*
The preparation of curved and tubular specimens by methods adaptable to the
fabrication of large numbers is now being investigated.
Tensile and comprehensive strengths, moduli of elasticity, and water
absorption have also been determined for plastics which have been propose*
by various commercial sources for use in building propellers, floats, spars,
wings, and fuselages of airplanes* The reinfcning agents in these products
included wood veneer, pressed wood, flax, jute, and sisal. The results in-
dicate that maximum strenght and stiffness are attained with well oriented
fibers and theroosetting resins.

This firm using plywood, impregnated with a phenolic resin
makes the 5 place Clrk F*46-A. The fuselage of this job consists of 2 halves,
bolted together. Power comes from a 42o HP* Ranger engine and its top
speed is allegedly 235 mph* They claim that their material offers 3 times the
strengt of Aluminum and 9 times the strength of stainless steel sheet*. The
surface of fuselage and wings is reported to be as smooth as glass
Bowmman Molded Airplane Co. San Francisco*.
X have not seen any of their products except an inside photo
of a 5 seater private plane. According to information they are molding xxxxx
several kinds of ingredients into solid resinous fuselages and wings after
the mixer has done its work similar to a concrete mixing machine* Their pro-
duct is supposed not to contain any plywood and consequently has not the
strength as the other types who are all using the plywood and resin combi-

On 2 motored ships all propellers run ia the same direction* The torque
is compensated by a slight warp of the wing, that gives more lift on
one side* Sometimes the center of balance is shifted.
Ifcat developments are there in reference to propellers*
Most propellers for ships above 15oHP* are made of Duralumin, but this
material is fast being superceded by stainless steel* On planes with
motors below 15o HP*, wooden propellers (mostly birch) ^reused.
In reference to the use of normalized jiga and assembly fixtures.
So far the quantities of planes of any particular type have not Justi-
fied the use of certain specific jigs and fixtures. However with about
lo ooo airplane orders for the Allies (all French orders have been taken
over by the British purchasing cowaision) those types of planes to be
manufactured in large quantities, like the Bell iiracobra and Airacuda,
the Brewster fighters, the Vultee fighters and Bombers, the types
made by the Consolidated Aircraft, and by Boeing and Martin, will see
in its production very extensive use of specially designed fixtures and
jigs* These jigs are not only used for A-ssembly of wings to fuselage
or tail aad flaps, but special jigs and fixtures are being provided for
the manufacture of motors and instrente .

charging and d.c. auxiliaries, establishes satisfactory parallel oper-
ation and practically eliminates radio and audio interference. The electro
nic voltage regulator responds faster than a mechanical "type', has simple
and positive anti-hunting characteristics, rectifies a . c . power to se-
cure d.c. field excitation current, and builds up the generator by means
of i t s residual* The battery charging unit consists of a dry plate r e c -
t i f i e s , fed from a 3 phase transformer through a tap changing device
under t i e control of a mechanical regulator*
. The H o volt 4oo cycle a . c . system i s suitable for light radio equip- .
merit and is practical for 3 phase induction motors. The use of 3 wires
in conduits, together -with the proper balance of single phase loads be-
tween the 3 phases, avoids the impedance drops which occur with single
phase. Motors will s t a r t and produce rated outputs without the use of cen-
trifugal switches, external condensers and other control devices. ThMSsthe
system i s well adapted for application on large airplanes which make ex-
tensive use of electric power and have heavymotor loads.
The 24 volt systea i s becoming a standard on Airplanes d . c . auxiliary
power. Generators have been built which rate 5 kw, 28^ volts, 175 amperes
and operate a t speeds of 32oo, 343o, 4ooo and fSooo rpm. The prime movers
have determinate speeds. I t appears that motors will operate at or below
a speed of lo,ooo rpm. The inherent limitations of armature, construction
and high starting torques required tend to limit maximum speeds. Machines
which have been built run a-t 75oo rpm.
The control regulated the d.c. power supply and furnishes charging
current for a gnwil battery* I t automatically disconnects the battery
when the power plant i s shut down and functions with l i t t l e radio or au-
dio interference. The voltage regulator i s a small l i ^ i t #eight device
utilizing a modification of the industrial silvers t a t . Contact mainte-
nance i s practically eliminated by distributing the duty over 15 to 2o
contacts, voltage change during warm up i s offset by low temperature co-
efficient coil wire, bimetal compensation corrects for ambient tempera-
ture variations, and the reverse current device drops out a t a lw cur-
rent value. A start-runcontactor, mounted within the generator, permits
the use of the machine for starting the power plant.
The 24 volt d . c . system appears t o be best far standardizing on one
potential for a number of different size airplanes. I t is possible to
readily handle battery charging without upsetting present standards. This
system may be applied to advantage on the laughter types of airplanes,
which have small motor loads.
The 2 systems now available l l o volt, 4oo cycle 3 phase a . c . and. ^

The first presses used for Aircraft work were usually SBM.11, of
light tonnage and of the single action type.Soon, large double
and single action presses were developed to take care of the increase
ed production requirements.Today a complete range of presses, both in
aiase and tonnage J*re available* Except for a few SSULLI size single action
presses for general purpose work, Modern presses are either of single
action heavy tonnage or of the double action type, using either a cus-
hion in the bed or a clasping platen en top to obtain the pressure to
clasp the sheet.
The large single action presses are designed to use a robber pad for
blanking and forming of Duraluminus parts for ribs, struts, spars sod
a number of other small parts. To secure the proper results, it is ne-
cessary to confine the rubber while it is doing its work. The large box
type casting is fastened to the under side of the soring platen with the
open side down* A thick pad of rubber varying fro* 6 to 12* thick fills
the eox or holder. On the bottom platen is fastened a thick steel plate
of such a size that it will just fit into the opening of the bex* A 4
group of dies with the DuralusdmaB pieces thereon are laid on this bolst**
er The downward action of the moving platen with the rubber pad forces
the sheets against the die causing it to be blanked or forsed, as the
case say be. By confining the rubber, the aetal can not flow out around
the edges*
" jduction is speeded up by sountiag a group of dies on steel plate*
are rolled into the press onto the bolster plate* These die pla-
tes are arranged to feed in froa 3 or 4 sides of the press so that while
one set of dies is in the press, the others say be unleaded and loaded*
The rubber pads are usually built up in layers of 1^ to 2* thick
rubber slabs cesented together. The layer on the inside is vulcanised
to a thin steel plate which iM held in place by aechanical means* To

A single action press with cushion in the bed is also used for
deep drawing of smaller parts* In this case the punch is mounted on
the bottom platen and concave die on the moving platen* Pressure pad
is mounted on clamping pins passing through the bottom platen and bea
J^ling against the cushion fcLate underneath. On the downward stroke, the
upper die clamps the sheet against the pressure pad; further downward
movement then forces the sheet over the punch at the bottom. Ejy talcing
out the clamping pins, the press may be used for single action operat-
ion* Modern hydraulic aircraft presses are equpped with push-button c
control for inching and semi-automatic operation* Not only is pres-
sure control acailable, but also up and down stroke controls, enabling
the operator to limit the stroke in either direction to suit his re-
quirements.
For dies many different materials are being used* Some use zink
for casting dies, others, use melted down scrap aluminum, but most
manufacturers use plywood. In the opinion of some manufacturers the
expense of cast iron dies as are being used in the manufacture of auto
mobile bodies is also justified in the XXXX Aircraft manufacture, clai*.
ming that the extra cost for dies is easily absorbed by the savings in
better accuracy of finished parts and of faster assembly.
Single action, double action and very soon triple action presses are
available to meet the requirements of the Aircraft industry.

Dear Sir,
I take this opportunity to thank you for your
efforts in naming my firm to your friends.
I have been thinking that you would be able to
sell stocks and bonds yourself. I think that you
informed ne that you are an American citizen, and
if my memory is right you could very easily work
for us. However you would have to be a citizen, as,
in the event of future trouble with aay continental
pcwer^ you might be deported and the firm get a black
eye, which I cannot afford.
I wpuld like to make an appointment and shall
let you know when I shall be in the office*
If the proposition appeals to you, give it your
thought seriously.

$500 m . f e l & ' l m B f c t W-STRUfJCK to p V "off certain individuals in '
New York; he told Strunck not to worry about it, that he would take
full responsibility for the taking of the money. Strunck said that was
all right* Strunck said that he would probably be transferred to
another ship, which was being taken over by the export line, on their
run to Lisbon in view of the fact that the EIOCHQRDA had been sold to
the Navy. He named the ship, probably the SIBONEY.
STRUNCK said he would get in touch with him about
his new address* He then gave Strunck the new post office box number,
again, as #334# General Post Office, New York City*
They then separated, and shortly thereafter he met
Agent Ellsworth at the Pennsylvania Station waiting room* They proceeded
to a secluded spot in the station *n<i he turned the money in the bag and
the other articles over to Agent Ellsworth.
He will testify from his notes
(Exhibit 1A6-5)
that at about 9:30 P.M. he arrived at the corner of Fulton and William
Streets, New York City. FEHSE drove up in his automobile, and he stepped
into it. Fehse then drove him around the East Side of New York near
86th Street. Re handed him the message sent to and the message received
from Germany concerning himself which were to the effectt
that he would have iq take his own chances in this .kind of business. ,-y- :
He then asked 11586$ ''a$o$tfci?troubles with the Labor Relations Board* - >-' -i
FEHSE said that he ims called W o r e the National Labor Relations
Board, 120 Broadway, New York City, a short tine after he was "fired"
from the S.S* AMERICA, that the Coronattee asked him about the mail he
received from Germany and his connections with Germany. They asked
him whether he would be loyal to the United States. When he made evasive
and short replies, they asked him who had "coached" him in how to answer
questions.
He said that after he left the Board meeting he had
been continuously followed for about fourteen days; that each time be
entered his house, a car would park out in front and keep watch over the
house; that when he entered a subway one or two men would get on the same
subway and watch him; that no natter where he went he was followed.
He said that after that he could not hold a job; that when he got a job
his employer would receive some kind of a letter and would come to him
and say that he was worry; but something was wrong with him, and he would
have to let him go.
He stated that at that time he had a job as Second
Cook in a restaurant in New York. He said that he would know in about a
week whether the same procedure would be followed in this case. He then
started talking about Hamburg, and said that before he left the Germans
photographed his citizenship papers and his American passport. He, SEBOLD,
then told him that he had lost his passport in Germany and FEHSE said,
T o u did not lose your passport. They stole it. Someone is probably
traveling on your passport now."
FEHSE said that STRUNCK must be a gallant fellowj
that they locked him up for three months in Germany over a two hundred
Mark matter, and that in spite of the fact that he was "treated like a
dog" in jail, STRUNCK likes to work for the Nazis. Fehse asked him if he
did not think that was honorable of STRUNCK and he told him, "No, I think
he is dumb to take such treatment."
. ., The conversation then concerne4 FEHSE leaving America..
Fehse said that he was afraid that if he left it would be *. sur<* sJLgB "
that he was guilty but that if he stays an* war breaks out"|w.would,"so** .<
doubtediy be shoved into a concentration camp. He, SEBOLD, then said,
"Well, that ought to be all right. All you have to do is chop wood ..and
eat heavy," Fehse asked what be'would do if they put him.in jail and
he told him, "About all you* 11 have to do is play football for three years".

thinks the United States i s going to the war because the U S Army
and Navy had ordered 100,000 tourniquets made out of rubber. He also
said that he would have t o dissolve his business, which involved hundreds
of stock holders.
He suggested to DUQUESNE that he should immediately
contact the three individuals named in Message #62, as the other side
expected a prompt reply. Duquesne said that he would do this* Duquesne
also said that he had been watching for him, SEBOLD, at the mail bcec
but had not been able to meet him there. He then asked him when he calls
for his mail. He told him any time between 7 A.M. and 5 PM

these boxes. He told Duquesne that he had a good local reputation as
a Diesel motor technician and that he could give any number of good

SIEGLER told hi* that Stigler was no longer
being followed but that be was afraid to come to M s , Sebolds,
office as there was a possibility tfiat some ens was still on his
trail. He stated that Stiglfcr h u a aovle camera whiek. sight b
of some use in going through the Panama Canal. He stated that the
last time they passed Gibraltar STIGUB took a morie of the Bode
from all sides, and. mailed the film to Germany, He asked Stigler
more about FEHSE and Siegler gave him seme of Fehse's background^
Be stated that FEHSE and STIGLER. hare been members
of the Nisi Party since 3?3Oj that Fehse is a very fanatical gasi*
He stated that the last time STIGLER was in Genoa he wanted te leave
ship and ge back to Germany bat that Fehse persuaded him to return te
America en the grounds that he could be of better use to Germany
there. He said that FEHSE had some time ago left ship in Norway sad
had mixed with the English seamen] that he then gave reports about
boat movements to Germany which reports resulted in the sinking of
four English boats. From Norway FEHSE went to Bremen, and there the
Gest&pe ranted to hire him but the German H*vy Department took
him over. He was then trained in Espionage and sent to the Tj. s.
SIEGLER stated that F*hse is the head of the marine Division in this
country.
SIEGLER then talked about himself and stated that
he personally had -very little use for the Ha&is} that they used te
tyrannise his folks in Germany* He also stated that iris boss,
GERHOFF in Germany, hasn't much use for the Nasis either. Siegler
claimed that he used to "cuss" the Nsis all the time} that-Qerhoff
stated that he was just the kind of man they were looking for. He
pointed out to STJBGXER the parallel between the two of them, that is,
between Siegler and himself, namely, that the Nazis seem to want
people who talked against them as that mould indicate an individual
who would not come under suspicion so readily*
i
SIBGLER stated, before leaving, s
that he would see

On February 26, 1941, i n Balboa, I aaw an English w h i p
cosing in as easterly direction fro the Fanaaa Canal, t i e
up to the pier i a Balboa* It was a rebuilt Dover-Calais
channel steas*r with 4 6-inch cannon as well as 2 anti-
aircraft gums* Besides these, she had two snokestacks
of Tftiich the f i r s t was twice as thick as the second* The
second, however, was not blind*
I assuae that by installing one or more boilers, i t was
necessary to enlarge the saekestack which in and of i t s e l f
was very hard. Nevertheless the purpose was to materially
increase the speed of the ship.
I learned that the ship sailed at 9 a.m., February 27 for
Sidney (from meabers of the crew)*
In the reconstruction, the upper denies were taken off the
ship in order to give the entire ship a truly battleship-
like appearance* Nevertheless, i t i s obvious that the en-
t i r e ship is not strong enough to be equipped with a heavier
type of weapons. I was not able to see anything of torpedo
tube*. They could possibly be under water*
Toe ship also had no amor which one would be able to see
because of the portholes lying one above the other. Never-
theless, I saw a ninesweeping device which could be brought
on to the stem of the ship.
I also saw no equipment for laying mines, but assuaed that
the ship can develop a rather high speed with the o i l burners
which the ship has.
For each of the 6-inch cannon, the sunitions containers
were fastened to the deck in a half-circle in front of and
behind the cannon*
The cannon stand one behind the other; that l a , two, one
behind the other* aft, and two, one behind the other forward}
two anti-aircraft are on the rear bridge, one port and one
starboard, directly behind the second vast, as well as two
on the deck under tb*~forward.bridge, one_on__each side,

LANG did not specifically say he spoke about the bombsight* However,
in his (Sebold's) mind the topic ot the conversation was understood.

that the people in this building wore civilian clothes.
SEBOLD suggested to LANG that he had made a big mistake not
to remain in Germany when he had k i t mission completed there* LANG
said that he realised that now; that he wished he knew a way to leave
the U.S .A. so he could, have breathing space again*
