Several manned and unmanned missions that tested the rocket preceded the Apollo 11 launch. Apollo 11 was the United States’ ultimate victory in the space race with the Soviet Union; the spacecraft successfully landed on the moon, and its crew members were the first men in history to set foot on Earth’s rocky satellite.</p> <p>A Saturn V rocket also put Skylab into orbit in 1973.

The results indicated that over a considerable range of stimulus levels the frequency of response decreased. significantly with increasing stimulus levels. The significance of this finding to sensitivity testing in general is discussed. February 1, 1965 STUDIES IN SILAZANE CHEMISTRY NASA TM X-53197 by James D. Byrd and James E. Curry Unclassified, 31 pages, 6 tables, 7 figures The chemistry of a number of silazane compounds has been studied in an effort to prepare polymers containing Si-N linkages. This effort has resulted in the discovery or development of some new and interesting polymeric materials. Polysilazanes having good thermal stability, elastomeric properties, and good film-forming properties have been prepared. A method has been developed for the preparation of an elastomeric silazane from dimethyldichlorosilane and ethylenediamine. This material has good thermal stability and remains rubbery after extended exposure to elevated temperatures (300-400°C). Polymers having a number of useful properties were prepared by the polymerization of equimolar amounts of h e x a p h e n y l c y c l o t r i s i l a z a n e and a number of different aromatic diols such as p, p'-biphenol. February 5, 1965 VACUUM COMPATIBILITY OF ENGINEER- NASA TM X-53207 ING MATERIALS (LIQUIDS AND SEMI-SOLIDS) by J. G. Austin and J. B. Gayle Unclassified, 34 pages, 25 figures The rates of evaporation of 20 liquid and semi-solid materials in a vacuum environment and the effects of temperature on the rates of evaporation of 11 of the 20 materials were determined experimentally. Test conditions were from room temperature to 154'C at pressures of lom5 torr or less. February 15, 1965 EFFECT OF LIQUID NITROGEN DILUTION ON LOX IMPACT SENSITIVITY by C. F. Key and J. B. Gay,le NASA TM X-53208 �Unclassified, 26 pages, 18 figures An experimental investigation was carried out to study the decrease in reactivity of materials with liquid oxygen (LOX) that is caused by A wide range of materials dilution of the LOX with liquid nitrogen (LN2). was selected for testing, each of which previously had been shown to be sensitive to impact in LOX. Tests were made with the ABMA LOX Impact Tester using LOX/LN2 mixtures ranging in concentration from 20 percent LOX in LN2 to pure LOX. The results showed that relatively large proportions of LN2 were required to effect an appreciable decrease in reactivity; however, all materials tested were insensitive to impact at 10 kg-m in liquid air. March 17, 1965 ACOUSTIC TECHNIQUES FOR THE NASA TM X-53219 NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF ADHESIVELY BONDED COMPOSITE MATERIALS by W. N. Clotfelter Unclassified, 43 pages, 27 figures The extensive usage of composite materials in the Saturn vehicle has required considerable effort in the development of nondestructive inspection methods to evaluate the mechanical integrity of these materials. This report describes through-transmission and single-side acoustic methods applicable to the quality verification of composite panels. Some of the techniques discussed are "off the shelf.'' Others are believed to be unique. All of these inspection methods are discussed and illustrated to show their applicability to the quality verification of certain types of composite structure used in the Saturn. An attempt has been made to relate selected techniques to the acoustic characteristics of the materials used. March 18, 1965 H-1 ENGINE LOX DOME FAILURE NASA TM X-53220 by C. E. Cataldo Unclassified, 22 pages, 6 tables, 9 figures A 7079-T6 aluminum forging, which is the forward closure of the H-1 rocket engine combustion chamber, failed after the engine was installed on the Saturn S-1-7 vehicle. It was concluded that the failure, occurringseveral weeks before launch at the Kennedy Space Center, was caused by stress corrosion. This report describes the metallurgical analysis of the failure and discusses previous failures experienced on this same part and the corrective actions that were taken. �March 26, 1965 COMPARISON OF TWO INSTRUMENTS NASA TM X-53226 FOR DETERMINING HARDNESS OF ELASTOMERS by J. T. Schell and C. D. Hooper Unclassified, 31 pages, 5 tables, 18 figures To reach a higher degree of accuracy in control evaluations of rubber compounds, a comparison was made of two commercially available instruments for measuring hardness of elastomeric compounds. These instruments, the Shore durometer and ASTM (Tinius Olsen), were compared over a wide hardness range on 13 types of rubber formulations. Studies indicated that, although the ASTM (Tinius Olsen) instrument requires a more refined test specimen and is somewhat more difficult to operate, it is a more precise instrument and should be used where very close tolerances are involved or as a "referee" in case of doubt with other instruments. The Shore durometer provides a rapid means for measuring hardness of elastomers; the specimen size is not critical; and the Shore durometer accuracy is sufficient for control evaluations as well as for the majority of end items. With the graphs and tables in this report, it is possible to convert units of measure from one instrument to the other for a particular compound of interest; however, to prepare a single table (or graph) illustrating a "typical" correlation for all elastomers is not practical because of the variation in creep with different formulations. EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR RADIATION, NASA TM X-53230 CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURE, AND VACUUM ON THE ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF DIELECTRIC MATERIALS March 30, 1965 by R. L. Gause and E. C. McKannan Unclassified, 29 pages, 6 tables, 11 figures The dielectric properties of polymeric materials probably are among the most sensitive to the effects of radiation from the space environment, from nuclear power sources, or from nuclear rockets. These properties also are affected in various ways by other parameters of the space environment such as vacuum and temperature. Therefore, a combined environmental evaluation of four commonly used dielectrics was made. Some preliminary results indicate that the effect on the dielectric constant and dissipation factor of the polymers was minor for vacuum alone but of major significance for radiation alone. The cryogenic tempemperatures had �a minor effect on the dielectric properties of silicone rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene but a direct and signifikant effect on the epoxy and polyurethane materials. It appeared that the effect.of cryogenic temperatures may have counteracted the radiation effects in spme cases. Obtaining dielectric measurements within the combined environmental simulator posed some special problems and required some novel techniques which are described. April 2, 1965 ACCELERATED COMPRESSION SET PROPERTIES OF FOURTEEN ELASTOMERS NASA TM X-53232 by C. D. Hooper and J. T. Schell Unclassified, 44 pages, 35 figures Fourteen types of synthetic elastomers, from which O-rings and other gaskets might be fabricated, were investigated for their compression set properties. Each compound was tested at a minimum of three temperatures (ranging from 70°C (158OF) to 250°C (482OF)) during various periods of time up to 32 days. Results showed that most elastomers have reasonably good compression set properties at room temperature (25OC) but that many of these might have critical limitations when subjected to the same compression at an elevated temperature. These tests, like other accelerated tests, were not expected to indicate the small differences that might be encountered in actual service; however, they do provide a practical evaluation of the properties that are useful where a high degree of precision is not expected. A summary of the data obtained from this study is presented in graphical form, illustrating the characteristics and limitations of each compound tested. April 9, 1965 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF BLAST HAZARDS OF RP-1/LOX AND LH~/LOXPROPELLANT COMBINATIONS NASA TM X-53240 by John B. Gayle, Charles H. Blakewood, James W. Bransford, William H. Swindell, and Richard W. High Unclassified, 31 pages, 20 figures This report discusses the current status of information regarding the blast hazards of liquid propellants and presents results obtained from one part of a comprehensive analytical and experimental investigation of this problem. The data generally were consistent with siting �criteria now used for RP-11LOX. However, explosive yields determined for LH2/LOX were markedly lower than values reported by previous investigators and suggest that current siting criteria for this propellant combination may be overly conservative. May 25, 1965 FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF M-31 INSULATION FOR RADIANT HEATING ENVIRONMENTS NASA TM X-53267 by Vaughn F. Seitzinger Unclassified, 25 pages, 4 tables, 6 figures The results of a program for additional development and evaluation of M-31 insulation, a composite material developed specificaliy to protect the base of the Saturn launch vehicle, are presented. This insulation is comprised of fibrous potassium titanate ,and asbestos fibers, bonded with colloidal silica. Processing techniques by the manufacturer of potassium titanate resulted in an increase in the bulk density, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and drying shrinkage of the insulation. June 21, 1965 AUTOMATIC EXTENSOMETER FOR ELASTOMERS NASA TM X-53231 by C. D. Hooper Unclassified, 19 pages, 1 table 11 figures An extensometer has been designed to measure accurately the elongation of any elastomer or similar material and to record electronically this data on the chart of the testing instrument. This instrument, which may be used by operators with a minimum of experience, results in reproducibility of data from laboratory to labdratory since the extension is measured by a semi-automatic.process. Although it was designed for accuracy (from 0 to 1000 percent using a one-inch original gauge), the instrument is rugged enough to require no special handling. It is relatively simple to fabricate in a standard machine shop and can be adapted to almost any tension testing instrument (conforming to ASTM or Military Specifications for testing elastomers) at a very low cost when compared to other commercial laboratory equipment. June 24, 1965 VACUUM COMPATIBILITY OF ENGINEERING NASA TM X-53286 MATERIALS (SOLIDS) I1 by J. G. Austin and J. B. Gayle �Unclassified, 156 pages, 2 tables, 130 figures .The rate and extent of weight loss of 62 solid materials in a vacuum environment were determined experimentally by continuous and intermittent weighing techniques. Test conditions ranged from 41°C to 200°C at presto 10-5 torr. The results are presented in 2 tables and sures of 130 figures. July 23, 1965 LOW TEMPERATURE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES NASA TM X-53302 OF HP 9-4-25 ALLOY by W. R. Morgan Unclassified, 13 pages, 3 tables, 4 figures The mechanical properties of HP 9-4-25 alloy sheet (0.062-inch thick) The were determined at temperatures from 27OC (80°F) to -253OC (-423OF). ultimate tensile and yield strengths were considerably greatet at -253OC (-423OF) than at 27OC (80°F),' and the notched/unnotched tensile ratios were greater than 0.81 at temperatures from 27OC (80°F) to -196OC (-320°F). This alloy is not recommended for critical applications below -196OC (-320°F) since the elongation and notched/unnotched tensile ratio decreased raptdly below this temperature. August 4 , 1965 SIZE AND DURATION OF FIREBALLS FROM PROPELLANT EXPLOSIONS NASA TM X-53314 by J. B. Gayle and J. W. Bransford Unclassified, 19 pages, 7 figures Data from tests and vehicle incidents have been compiled and analyzed with respect to fireball diameters and durations. Both variables were found to be dependent on the cube root of the weight of the combined propellants and independent of the particular propellant combination. Fireball diameters also appear to be roughly dependent on the cube root of the ambient pressures. August 9, 1965 STRESS CORROSION STUDIES OF AM-355 STAINLESS STEEL NASA TM X-53317 by J. G. Williamson Unclassified, 18 pages, 3 tables, 6 figures The stress corrpsion cracking susceptibility of AM-355 stainless steel alloy was studied. This alloy is used extensively for sleeves in flared �tube fittings in the S-I and S-IC stages of the Saturn I and Saturn V vehicles, respectively. Various heat treated conditions were investigated and relative stress corrosion cracking susceptibility determined. Of the generally used heat treatments, the fully hardened SCT 1000 treatment was found to be superior in stress corrosion resistance. September 13, 1965 EXPERIMENTAL X-RAY STRESS ANALYSIS FOR PRECIPITATION HARDENED ALUMINUM ALLOYS NASA TM X-53329 by J. H. Wharton and W. L. Prince Unclassified, 26 pages, 12 figures X-ray diffraction techniques for dekrmining stress in precipitation hardened aluminum alloys have been developed and evaluated. The materials investigated included 2014-T6, 2219-T37, and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. A precision corresponding to +5 percent of the alloy yield strengths was obtained under laboratory conditions. Further studies are needed to evaluate this method for field measurements of stress in vehicle components. September 14, 1965 INVESTIGATION OF THE NASA TM X-53331 COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION OF VARIOUS GREASES AND DRY FILM LUBRICANTS AT ULTRA HIGH LOADS FOR THE SATURN HOLD DOWN ARMS by K. E. Demorest and A. F. Whitaker Unclassified, 29 pages, 2 tables, 12 figures A series of high load, l6w speed sliding friction tests was made on 8 fluid lubricants and 18 dry lubricants at normal unit loads from 10,000 psi to 150,000 psi. Four different substrate materials having a range of hardnesses from Rockwell C 18 to Rockwell C 55 were used. The ultimate load capability of both fluids and dry films is a function of substrate hardness with the best ultimate load capability being provided by inorganically bonded molybdenum disulfide films with small amounts of graphite added. The coefficient of friction of the fluid lubricants appears to be an inverse function of substrate hardness and a direct function of the normal load. The coefficient of friction of the dry lubricants is an inverse function of the normal load, but it does not appear to be related to the substrate hardness. September 14, 1965 LOW TEMPERATURE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ALUMINUM ALLOY 2219-T87, 0.040-INCH THICK SHEET THROUGH 5.000-INCH THICK PLATE by C. R. Denaburg NASA TM X-53332 �Unclassified, 33 pages, 12 tables, 11 figures The mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 2219-T87 sheet and plate of various thicknesses were determined over the temperature range from ambient through -253OC (-423OF). The ultimate tensile and yield strengths in the longitudinal and transverse direction increased as the temperature decreased. The ultimate tensile strength ranged from 66.4 to 69.4 ksi at ambient temperature and 95.8 to 107.3 ksi at -253°C (-G23OF). The yield strength at ambient temperature was between 54.1 and 57.1 ksi; however, at -253OC (-423OF), it ranged between 68.8 and 79.5 ksi. The elongation, in general, increased as the temperature decreased. Elongation in the longitudinal and transverse directions for all the thicknesses investigated averaged 9.0 percent at ambient temperature and 11 percent at -253OC (-423OF). The tensile strength in the short transverse direction for the twoinch thick plate was 64.0 ksi at ambient temperature and 78.9 ksi at -253OC (-423OF). The elongation was 4.6 percent at ambient temperature and decreased to 1.3 percent at -253OC (-423OF). The tensile strength in the short transverse direction of the fiveinch thick plate was 54.6 ksi at ambient temperature and 65.1 ksi at -253°C (-423OF). Elongation was 0.6, 0.2, and 1.6 percent in two inches for ambient temperature, -196OC (-320°F), and -253OC (-423OF), respectively. Previous evaluations of aluminum alloy 2219 by this division are referenced. November 1, 1965 DISTRIBUTION OF FAILURE TIMES IN STRESS CORROSION TESTS NASA TM X-53355 by J. B. Gayle Unclassified, 12 pages, 3 figures The results of stress corrosion tests on aluminum alloys have been analyzed with respect to the statistical nature of the distribution of failure times. The analyses indicated that the data were represented adequately by a three-parameter Weibull distribution in which the induction period amounted to 85 percent of the time of the first observed failure and 55 percent of the time required for failure of half the specimens. November 3, 1965 EFFECTS OF VARIOUS ADDITIVES ON NASA TM X-53356 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND PERFORMANCE OF MONOMETHYLHYDRAZINE by Harold Perkins �Unclassified, 15 pages, 2 tables, 7 figures The freezing and boiling points of 0 -40 percent mixtures of various nitrogen compounds and water in monomethylhydrazine (MMH) were determined experimentally. The additives for these mixtures were selected on the basis of chemical similarity to MMH, mixture thermal stability, probability of contamination occurrence, cryoscopic and ebullioscopic effects, and anticipated effects on propellant performance. Theoretical specific impulses were calculated as a function of additive concentration using nominal values of the Saturn S-IVB Vehicle Auxiliary Propulsion System as a basis. November 4, 1965 SIMULATION STUDY OF THE AMOUNT OF NASA TM X-53357 SENSITIVITY TEST DATA REQUIRED TO REJECT THE EIYPOTHESIS OF NORMALITY WHBN THE SAMPLE POPULATION IS NONNORMAL by J. B. Gayle and C. L. Hopkins Unclassified,l3 pages, 3 tables, 3 figures Computer simulation techniques were used to study the number of sensitivity tests which are required to reject the hypothesis of a normally distributed sample population when the population actually was nonnormal. The results indicated that, even under the most favorable conditions, the number of tests required far exceed the number usually run in sensitivity type testing. This suggests that any assumption concerning the statistical nature of the distribution ordinarily will not be verified experimentally. November,4 , 1965 STATUS REPORT ON CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS NASA TM X-53358 OF MONOMERIC SELF-SEALANT TYPE ESTERS by Lawrence R. Moffett, Jr. Unclassified, Zlpages, 8 figures The purpose of this program was to develop an efficient synthetic chemical route or the preparation of alkyl esters of a -cyanosorbic acid (1-cyano-hexadienoic acid) as intermediates in self sealant polymerization studies. The in-house investigation of the direct and indirect esterification of a-cyanosorbic acid, employing standard and non-conventional techniques, has resulted in the development of a satisfactory procedure for the preparation of n-butyl-a-cyanosorbate and n-amyl-acyanosorbate in yields approaching 90 percent. Parallel stuzies which were initiated by the Research and Technology Division of the Air Force Systems Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, (ASD) under Government Work Order H-71461, have resulted in the preparation of �n-butyl-a-cyanosorbate in - somewhat lower yields with concomitant longer reaction periods. The synthetic procedures developed in both investigations are discussed in detail in this report, and chemical and spectral data are presented to verify the identities of the esters formed in the various reactions. This program established that the direct esterification of a-cyanosorbic acid is quite feasible and is a much preferred route to the indirect esterification through preparation of such intermediates as the corresponding acid chlorides and sodium salts. December 15, 1965 A COMPILATION OF RADIANT AND CONVECTIVE HEATING TEST RESULTS NASA TM X-53369 by F. Uptagrafft, L. A. Soileau, and T, Barkley Unclassified, 164 pages, 12 tables, 5 figures The report is a compilation of data which characterize the response of approximately 1,500 insulation materials when they are exposed to a variety of temperature and pressure environments. To establish the capability of these materials to satisfy the many conditions to which they could be exposed in the Saturn launch vehicles, a multitude of different heat pulses was included in the material evaluation. The purpose of the program was to define the characteristics of these materials in peculiar environments (e.g., radiant heating, heating at reduced pressure, etc.) which are experienced in the Saturn stages and for which no data were available. The preponderance of the materials evaluated are available commercially. INTERNAL NOTES January 4, 1965 FLEXURE FATIGUE PROPERTIES OF IN-P&VE-M-65-1 TYPICAL S-IV COMMON BULKHEAD COMPOSITE SANDWICH STRUCTURE AT LIQUID NITROGEN TEMPERATURE by 0. Y. Reece and R. S. Harvey Unclassified, 12 pages, 1 table, 4 figures A series of fatigue tests was completed at -196OC (-320°F) 0 to 5 million cycles range for the purpose of establishing an for a honeycomb structure typical of that used for Saturn S-IV bulkhead construction. The data and projections show that the fatigue strength of the panels exceeded the proportional limit in the S-N curve common average in the �range of 0 to 10 million cycles, and the 95 percent confidence limit of the fatigue strength exceeded the proportional limit in the range of 0 to 400;OOO cycles. January 28, 1965 LOW TEMPERATURE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF f l ~ ~ WASPALOY BOLTS IN-P&VE-M-65-2 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ by J. W. Montano Unclassified, 22 pages, 7 tables, 6 figures This report presents the mechanical properties of "Tensilized" Waspaloy bolts and reduced shank bolt specimens which were tested at temperatures from ambient to -423OF (-253OC). The mechanical properties of the bolt specimens were compared with those of high strength A-286 alloy. It was concluded from the low temperature tests that the "Tensilized" Waspaloy bolts of 5116-inch diameter, 24 threads per inch should be satisfactory for structural applications in space vehicles at temperatures from ambient to -423OF (-253OC). April 9, 1965 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS OF SOLVENTS IN CONTACT WITH LIQUID OXYGEN IN-P&VE-M-65-3 by C. F. Key and J. B. Gayle Unclassified, 9 pages, 1 table, 1 figure Small scale tests were carried out to study the explosive hazards of selected solvents in contact with liquid oxygen. The results indicated that many solvents react'explosively with liquid oxygen when suitably initiated. These findings are similar to results of previous studies using nitrogen tetroxide. June 22, 1965 S-13 THERMAL CONTROL COATING FOR SA-9IPEGASUS A SPACECRAFT IN-P&VE-M-65-4 by L. K. Zoller Unclassified, 15 pages, 5 tables Optical property data from various tests of the S-13 thermal control coating used on the SA-9 launch vehicle are tabulated. Specimens of the S-13 coating were prepared when the SA-9 vehicle components were painted. These specimens were located in the Launch Complex 37 Service ~ l l �Tower and, thus, were exposed to the same environmental history as the SA-9 launch vehicle. The specimens were periodically evaluated for ultraviolet radiation stability. The data indicate that the S-13 paint on the SA-9 vehicle was within design requirements and that the paint should not deteriorate beyond prescribed limits due to ultraviolet radiation degradation. July 22, 1965 EXAMINATION OF ELECTROPOLISHED FOILS OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS BY TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY IN-P&VE-M-65-5 by J. H. Wharton, G. R. Marsh, and W. L. Prince Unclassified, 22 pages. 12 figures This report describes the techniques which are involved in electropolishing foils of 7075 aluminum alloy for transmission electron microscopy investigations. The success of these electropolishing techniques is demonstrated by the transmission micrographs that are included. Brief comments concerning the microstructure observed in 7075 aluminum alloy are given. July 26, 1965 ABSORPTION CORRECTION TABLES FOR THE PHILIPS A M R / ~ ELECTRON PROBE AT ELECTRON ENERGIES OF 30 AND 20 KV IN-P&VE-M-65-6 by J. H. Wharton, W. L. Prince, and G. R. Marsh Unclassified, 186 pages, 2 tables Mass absorption corrections have been tabulated as a function of mass absorption coefficients and atomic number. The corrections are based upon Philibert's simplified expression for F(X) and the use of an emergence angle of 15 degrees.

During the past 12 months, sales and earnings exceeded those for any previous year, more equipment and facilities were in use than ever before, and product lines were broadened. Accompanying these new highs were two significant milestones in Brown's progress. The company's common stock was listed on the American Stock Exchange in April, and final negotiations were begun in December to acquire the outstanding capital stock of Electro-Mechanisms, Inc., an electronics product manufacturer in Methuen, Massachusetts, and Nashua, New Hampshire. Brown Engineering sales in 1964 totaled $41,849,713, an increase of $8,726,889 over 1963. Earnings rose $86,223 above the year before to a record $895,028. America's aerospace programs continued to account for a major portion of the company's revenues. Besides the income resulting from research, development and manufacturing support services performed for these programs, Brown enjoyed significant benefits from its ex- panded testing capabilities and product lines. In March, directors voted a three-fortwo stock split. Outstanding stock totaled 709,941 shares at year's end. Stockholders increased by nearly 500 to 2,538 during the year. Kenneth J. Thornhill, Vice President and Director of the Long Island Company, Ltd. of New York, was elected to the Board of Directors in November to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Thomas H. Lenagh. Mr. Lenagh, elected Treasurer of the Ford Foundation during the year, resigned as Director of Brown Engineering in order to devote full attention to his increased responsibilities at Ford. In keeping with Brown Engineering's prime objective to continue to operate on an economical and efficient basis, the company re-emphasized its value engineering and cost reduction program during the year. We believe that increased emphasis in this area will not only help our company operate more efficiently, but also result in ideas and suggestions that will enable us to more competitively fulfill customer requirements. During 1964 the company spent approximately $1.6 million on new facilities and equipment. Major additions were a hy- �draulic / pneumatic / vibration / shock facility to complement the environmental test laboratory, and an 8,000 square foot area for the assembly of high reliability instrumentation and electronic systems. Both facilities resulted in increased sales for the company. Wages and benefits that compare favorably with those of similar industries enabled Brown to retain and supplement a corps of highly trained professional and technical personnel, many of whom hold graduate degrees in the sciences. We believe that many of the events of 1964 mean a stronger and greater Brown Engineering Company for the future. The company found growing new markets for its services, products and experience among Army, Air Force, Navy and Atomic Energy Commission customers, as well as many of the major aerospace firms. The growth of the company's electronic products line and the proposed acquisition of Electro-Mechanisms, Inc., will place Brown in an enviable position in the growing field of micro-circuitry. Milton K. Cummings, president of Brown Engineering Company, takes time out from a busy day for a cigaret and cup of coffee. Besides the active role he plays in affairs of the company he has headed since 1958, Mr. Cummings participates in community, state and national affairs which he believes will continue to keep America strong. During 1964 President Johnson appointed Mr. Cummings to the National Citizens Committee for Community Relations; the Honorable Sargent Shriver chose him as a business advisor to the President's War on Poverty, and local governing bodies selected him to plan the Huntsville Area Economic Opportunity Program. Loyal, conscientious employees have placed Brown Engineering in the forefront as a highly specialized aerospace research, development and manufacturing support industry. The company's management intends to keep it there. Milton K. Cummings President �SPACE VEHICLES I As a major supporting contractor to the Marshall Space Flight Center, Brown Engineering is intimately associated with the development of launch and space vehicles that will power Americans to the moon in this decade. During 1964 a resident staff of more than 500 engineers and technicians, as well as members of the company's 2,500 in plant personnel, provided research, development and manufacturing support services to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration installation. The gigantic launch vehicles for America's future space flights pose many technical problems, ranging from the storage of their exotic fuels at extremely low temperatures to the mating of hundreds of parts made by different manufacturers. Reliable solutions to these problems must be found before the giant Saturn vehicle leaves earth for its moonward journey. At MSFC, Brown Engineering assisted NASA personnel in studying and solving many of these problems during the past year. The proper operation of fluid and fuel systems, as well as the behavior of liquids, in both terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments is important to the space program. In connection with this, Brown's Space Vehicle Division performed detailed motion studies for fluid line systems and evaluated liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen systems. To find an analytical method of predicting pressure loss in flexible metal hoses on space vehicles, the division is performing tests on a model its personnel designed for the study. Brown personnel have analytically determined that gas injected into the propel- This experiment represents part of Brown Engineering's work as a mission support contractor to elements of the Marshall Space Flight Center. Bubble dynamics and surface disturbances are studied in a simulated Saturn V propellant tank and turbo-pump duct. This research project is aimed at finding methods of analyzing, and controlling surface disturbances which result when h e l ~ u mgas is injected to condition propellant during the pre-launch countdown period. �lant lines will eliminate longitudinal vehicle vibration caused by interaction between the vehicle structure and the propulsion systems. tem. Another analysis was made of bubble clusters which collect below the surface of the propellant during vibration and their effects in vehicle tanks. Unlike an automobile motor, parts of advanced rocket engines must be cooled to extremely low temperatures by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen prior to starting. Brown Engineering personnel studied some of the technical problems in this area during the past 12 months. The Space Vehicle Division investigated the effects of reducing the propellant suction line chilldown time by internally insulating the propellant lines of an engine. In another study, division personnel analyzed an insulation for liquid hydrogen tanks, predicting heat rates, propellant boiloff and temperature distribution during prelaunch and ascent flight. The division's personnel also contributed to studies of future rocket engines having three to five times the combustion pressure of those in use today. They participated in investigations of annular nozzles, believed to be superior to the present bellshaped nozzles, and air-augmented clusters of engines. The super-insulation for cryogenic fuel tanks was the subject of two studies made by Brown Engineering's Research Laboratories. Brown personnel proposed a new concept for manufacturing a super-insulation material which might have superior qualities. A major problem of super-insulation concerns heat leaks at tank connections and supports. Research personnel have also studied various types of connections to seek those which will reduce the heat transferred into the tanks. Space Vehicle Division personnel sought to find methods of analyzing and controlling surface disturbances caused when helium gas is injected to condition the liquid propellant during the pre-launch countdown period. Liquid surface control is essential in order to prevent propellant carry-over into the booster's venting and pressurization sys- Brown developed design requirements and specifications for a remote automatic hazardous gas detection system to be installed on Saturn vehicles for use during pre-launch operations; performed development, functional and performance tests on the Saturn V hydraulic system and components, and made studies to determine temperatures of various parts of the vehicle during the launch and orbital flight. The Space Vehicle Division has also made studies to reduce the weight of Saturn stages and to provide internal load distributions for space vehicles. Brown personnel assisted in developing new bearings and lubricants for electric motors in space environments and new silicon polymers for high temperatures. In another project, Brown's Engineering Design a n d D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t worked with NASA in an investigation of the effects of rocket jet impingement on water to determine the feasibility of launching large space vehicles from off-shore sites. The company's Systems Engineering Department has been a major participant in ��the Saturn Launch Vehicles Interface Control Program. This program is designed to insure that the hundreds of components, systems and stages fabricated by NASA centers and their contractors fit together and function properly when the vehicle is assembled. The company also designed hinges weighing more than 11,000 pounds per pair for connecting the arms t o the launcherumbilical tower, as well as the hydraulicpneumatic control consoles which extend and retract the arms and maintain the vehicle's pressure system. LAUNCH EQUIPMENT / Facilities and equipment that will never leave the earth have a vital role in America's space program. Brown Engineering made notable cont r i b u t i o n s d u r i n g 1964 t o t h e n a t i o n ' s ground support and launch equipment and facilities. Engineers and technical writers in the company prepared the acceptance checkout procedures and information handbook for the arms and related equipment. Personnel of the Engineering Design and Development Department also designed an automatic connect-and-disconnect device, known as the "LUT (for launcher-umbilical tower) speedconnector," which promises to cut hours off the time required to prepare a space vehicle for launch. Four "speedconnectors" can simultaneously and automatically connect the 144 plugs carrying electricity to the tower in less than one minute. To make these connections manually would take hours. Giant arms supporting all service lines to the various stages of the Saturn V and an access arm to the spacecraft atop the vehicle were designed and developed by Brown's Engineering Design and Development Department. The eight service arms extend from the launcher-umbilical tower to the 36-story-tall Saturn, supporting the lines which supply the vehicle's fuel, air conditioning, pneumatic and electrical services. Precision control mechanisms retract the arms before or at liftoff. The access arm which the astronauts will use to enter the Apollo spacecraft is equipped with air conditioning and space suit checkout lines. The "speedconnector," bearing a sheath of electrical cables, extends to the umbilical tower on a track. Its pneumatic positioning system enables the connector to quickly and safely make contact with the tower, even if the giant crawler-transporter which will move the tower to the launch site misses the predesignated location by as much as 12 inches. The mechanism can also disconnect the electrical lines as quickly as it connects them. As a part of the development program, Brown fabricated two prototype tips of forward and aft service arms and performed preliminary tests to verify the design concept of the umbilical withdrawal mechanisms and extension platforms. Conceivably, this same concept could be used to connect all services to the umbilical At the press of a button, the "LUT speedconnector," designed by Brown Engineering, can connect or disconnect electrical, lines to the Saturn V launcher umbilical tower in less than one m ~ n u t e . - - �tower, including high-pressure gas, cryogenic and fuel lines. It is also being studied for use on the service arms to remotely connect umbilical lines to the space vehicle. Brown's Cape Canaveral personnel prepared design criteria for a launch pad and supporting structures at the Merritt Island Launch Area's Complex 39, site of America's moon shot. In addition, the company performed design work on checkout facilities for the Gemini and Apollo programs; prepared design criteria for power distribution lines to serve MILA, and redesigned and documented the operational television system for Complex 34 in the Cape Kennedy launch area. INSTRUMENTATION / Brown Engineering asserted itself as a leader in the design, development and manufacture of electronic and electromechanical systems during 1964, marking notable technical accomplishments and attaining a high sales volume. Telemetry equipment -for transmitting scientific information from space vehicles, satellites and high altitude manned flights to earth - has been the company's most important product in this area. The investment of corporate capital in expanded instrumentation equipment, facilities and personnel in 1964 places Brown in an enviable position in the telemetry market. Sales of telemetry equipment and related items represent 90 percent of the company's total commercial business during the year and compare favorably with other leading suppliers in the industry. Brown's Electronic Systems Division is supplying a major portion of the telemetry equipment that will travel aboard Saturn V and Saturn IB vehicles, including devices that will accommodate up to 270 channels of information. In addition, the division played the role of "problem solver" to the space program by designing and building equipment for complex telemetry requirements. The company introduced multi-layered printed circuit boards into its telemetry products during the year. Made by Electro-Mechanisms, Inc., which Brown proposes to acquire, the mull%layered boards are a series of printed circuits placed on top of each other and bonded together. As many as 20 circuits could be included in this type board, which is very compact and gives increased reliability over older methods. Flexible printed cable, also a product of ElectroMechanisms, is used to link the equipment's circuits to exterior connections. Printed cables take the place of many small wires, just as printed circuits have replaced the wired chassis. Six printed cables can replace 60 separate wires in one Brown telemetry product. The innovation results in faster and more economical assembly, reduces the weight and size of the instrument, and increases re1iability by decreasing the number of connections and possibilities for errors in assembly. The Electronic Systems Laboratory completed its part of the development and testing of a new space vehicle tracking and guidance system during the year. Known as the AROD (for airborne range and orbit determination) system, it differs from present tracking devices in that the master station for deciphering all data is located on the vehicle instead of a ground station. The system eliminates the need for manned ground sta- �I tions in the space program. The laboratory also received contracts during 1964 for development of a monopulse tracking receiver that receives microwave signals from a vehicle re-entering the earth's atmosphere and a microwave ranging system for aircraft. The aircraft ranging system incorporates an automatic gating technique Brown developed during the year to reduce the probability of receiving erroneous pulses. The Electronic Systems Division is supporting work on the guidance and control system for a new directionally controlled medium assault weapon the Army Missile Command is developing at Redstone Arsenal. Division personnel also worked on the design and development of a special purpose digital machine with one instruction for all incoming data. The equipment, designed to accept inputs from the Saturn V operational computer system, is used in the automatic countdown sequence for Saturn firings. Brown also designed and built components for a device which simulates the docking of a spacecraft at an orbital space station or a moon landing. An astronaut, sitting in the simulator, can observe televised images of a space dock or the lunar surface. Brown's contributions to the project include an electronic device to create motion in the simulated spaceship and a rotational control stick with which the astronaut can vary the position of the image he sees. ADVANCED STUDIES / Keeping pace with tomorrow, Brown Engineering's research projects during the past year probed far into the future. In the company's Research LaboA research scientist experiments with applications for the continuous gas laser in Brown Engineering's Research Laboratories. This combination of layered circuits and printed cables represents a highly advanced electronic packaging technique. Developed by Electro-Mechanisms, Inc., both products are used in telemetry equipment Brown builds for NASA and major aerospace contractors. ��ratories, personnel studied the things man will do when he reaches the moon and analyzed new propulsion systems that could send him even farther into space - to Mars and Venus. Studies were made of new applications of recent scientific advances and discoveries, including the laser. The landing of payloads on the moon will enable man not only to explore the lunar surface, but to also use the moon as a base for observing the earth and other astronomical bodies. Brown's Research Laboratories contributed to outlining experiments in both areas. The geological program was examined in detail to outline some of the most promising experiments to be conducted during a limited period of manned exploration. A highly technical investigation is now underway to outline experiments in radio astronomy which, if performed on the moon, could lead to new information concerning the environments of the earth and the solar system. Brown's Systems Engineering Department is making a study to identify the roles man should play in lunar exploration and to determine if instruments and other electronically controlled equipment can replace him in any of these roles. The study tests man against machines in considering all the required tasks of lunar exploration. Results will impose design requirements on planning missions and equipment for the exploration. This department also is studying two concepts for a mobile space laboratory to determine which design will be best suited to the lunar surface and obstacles. For space missions involving long flight times, such as trips to Mars and Venus, conventional chemical propulsion systems will be inadequate. A research study has indicated that a type of electric propulsion system using very heavy particles (collodial ions) would be most efficient. Based on these findings, Brown's Research Laboratories have begun an experimental project to develop a collodial ion propulsion system. Such a system, potentially weighing only a few pounds, might well be a "standard" engine for future manned space exploration programs. Research personnel continued to find new applications for the laser, a device for producing light by the emission of energy stored in a molecular system when it is stimulated by an inpuf signal. Researchers experimented with the use of narrow light beams from a gaseous laser to determine the speed of gas flow in wind tunnels. This method may prove to be vastly superior to those using conventional meters. The light is reflected from small particles in the flowing gas and is slightly changed in its wavelength due to the motion of the particles. Measurement of this wavelength change gives an accurate indication of the speed, and the light beams give minimum interference to the quantity being measured. Another study concerned use of the laser as an instrument for measuring flow rates of liquids in pipes. The highly uniform laser beam was also investigated as a distance measuring instrument. An experimental research study was conducted during the past year to enhance the knowledge of electronic properties of metals, with the ultimate objective being a greater knowledge of the unusual phenomenon, superconductivity. As the temperature of certain metals is lowered near the absolute Brown Engineering instrumentation experts performed the system integration, as well as part of the design, development and fabrication, of an experimental AROD (airborne range and orbit determination) system, a tracking and guidance system for spacecraft. The system includes a master station which travels on the spacecraft and ground-based transponders. As a part of the development phase, Brown tested the experimental model. For this test the master station was installed in an airplane and two ground transponders were established at Redstone Arsenal. �zero point of minus 460 degrees, they lose their resistance to electrical currents and reach a state of superconductivity. I n this state the metals have no electrical resistance. Brown's study, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, involved the bombardment of films of metals only a few millionths of an inch thick with a stream of electrons. By observing the electron absorption, certain basic properties of the metals were deduced. The company's Electronic Systems Laboratories, in a company-funded research project, are developing equipment for use with the new ultra-high frequency range telemetry equipment that will replace most present day systems by 1970. The laboratories are working on frequency multipliers and a tunnel diode amplifier for incorporation into the new systems. try, during the year. Components, su bassemblies and assemblies tested included those from space vehicles and ground support equipment. TEST 1 The terrestrial evaluation of space vehicle components in the hostile atmospheres of outer space is a specialized science in which Brown Engineering reinforced its leadership on two fronts during the past year. The addition of new hydraulic, pneumatic, vibration and shock cells to the company's environmental testing laboratory in March gave Brown Engineering one of the finest and most advanced testing facilities in the country, and brought increased business to the Systems Evaluation and Test Department. In addition to its testing services, Brown designed and fabricated sophisticated and sometimes exotic test equipment for America's space program. The company performed testing services for Marshall Space Flight Center and Kennedy Space Center, as well as private indus- Brown's new test building demonstrates the company's capability t o design and equip a complete test facility. The Engineering Design and Development Department designed the building and hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and the company's own technicians installed the equipment. In subjecting the electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic components of the Saturn V service arms to environmental examination, the Systems Evaluation and Test Department prepared the test criteria, test procedures and test reports in addition to performing the actual testing. Pneumatic equipment was tested in facilities which can generate 15,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. This is enough pressure to support a one-inch column of water extending six miles into the sky, and it is greater than the pressure at the Pacific Ocean's deepest point. Even more specialized test equipment was designed for aerospace studies. To determine the behavior of ground support service arms at liftoff, the Engineering Design and Development Department designed a mechanism simulating the first eight feet of the Saturn V launch. The department also designed equipment to produce water flow rates up to 40,000 gallons per minute to calibrate flow meters, and a high vacuum facility to evaluate tank insulations in a simulated space environment in the lower ionosphere range.

The vibration exciter subjects objects to 22,000 force pounds. The object being vibrated is a gyroscope which acts as a "brain" to keep space vehicles from veering off course. ��The company also had a role in designing equipment for the gigantic concrete and steel test stands used at Marshall Space Flight Center for the static firing of large boosters and engines. The Engineering Design and Development Department participated in designs for modifying a test stand and designed a weather enclosure to go around the work area atop another. The weather enclosure was also fabricated in Brown's Manufacturing Department. The company designed the tooling dock and personnel platforms for a hydrostatic test stand and certain propellant and water systems for two static test towers. INFORMATION PROCESSING / Brown's Systems Engineering Department continued to serve space and defense customers, as well as a growing number of commercial clients, in the areas of scientific programming and management systems during the past year. Scientific programming personnel participated in a number of aerospace research projects, including a study to determine whether hostile re-entry vehicles are carrying warheads; an analysis of a space vehicle's trajectory, and development of a method to study the stress and strain placed on buildings, test facilities and rocket engines during test or launch of large boosters. This department also developed a technique for automatically testing and checking out a complete space system by computer, using digital simulation techniques, The department expanded the performance and scope of an automated information storage and retrieval system which provides reliability information on parts and components for space vehicle design organizations throughout the country. Using this system, a designer on the West Coast who desires test, inspection and failure reports on an item submits his request through a telecommunications network. The request is entered into the processing computer system via a teletype network and the information is automatically retrieved. Brown accepts input data to the system, and standardizes and incorporates it in magnetic tape files which provide automated responses to inquiries. Brown's information system specialists are also exploring the application of optical scanning techniques to minimize the time required to search for information in voluminous catalogs and manuals. Many management concepts being successful ly used in America's space program can be equally beneficial to the small businessman. During the year the department made these available to private industry through a new Management Science Branch. The new branch makes it possible for businessmen to employ modern management techniques without the cost of hiring fulltime high-salaried professionals to design and implement them. Typical of the areas in which the branch specializes are: accounting, administration, scheduling, costing, inventory control, reporting and industrial engineering applications. The department continued to provide computer, card punch and electronic accounting machine services to defense, aerospace and industrial organizations through the company's IBM 140111410/7040 computer complex, one of the most advanced in the South. �PRODUCTS / Significant new developments occurred during the year in Brown Engineering's three commercially marketed products - BECON printed circuit connectors, closed circuit television equipment and printed circuit boards. The Electronic Systems Division developed a micro-circuit connector for use in a major Air Force instrumentation program. The connector, which will accommodate up to seven micro-circuits, is being modified to make it more versatile, and will be added to Brown's standard product line in early 1965. The division designed and developed frequency-shift-keying equipment which makes it possible for a closed circuit television camera to be remotely operated hundreds of miles away by a telephone line. The video image is transmitted from the camera to a monitor via a telephone microwave link or standard communications line. Brown personnel also designed and developed a fully transistorized reed relay switching device for closed circuit television. This unit, which can be controlled over common telephone lines, is capable of switching any one of 80 television cameras to any one of 80 monitors. Still another achievement was the introduction of a process for making gold plated printed circuit boards without plating the copper soldering pads. Heretofore, it has been necessary for customers to erase the gold plating from the soldering pads before using the boards. The new process enables the company to more efficiently produce a superior board and saves customers valuable time. Substantial increases in sales coincided A column of liquid in a plexiglas container is subjected to a range of vibrational accelerations and frequencies. The behavior of bubbles which form under these conditions is studied in relation to their effects on full-scale propellant tanks and feed lines. Brown Engineering employees assisted NASA in this study at the Marshall Space Flight Center. This micro-circuit connector was designed and built by Brown Engineering for Sperry Gyroscope Company for use in a major Air Force instrumentation program. �with these new technical advancements. To more effectively market BECON products, the company now has manufacturer's representatives in 16 offices, serving all major industrial and defense centers of the country, and a national distribution point in St. Louis. REED-MULLINS / In addition to its contributions to America's extra terrestrial activities, Brown Engineering is helping to shape the skyline of the Huntsville area through its architects-engineers division, Reed-Mullins and Associates. Reed-Mullins designed another link in Huntsville's modern educational system, Northwest Elementary School. Nearing completion, the structure is designed so that air conditioning and classroom television may be added. The commercial products division of International Business Machines' Huntsville operations recently occupied an ultra-modern structure designed by Reed-Mul lins. Located in the Industrial Research Park, the building's exterior is uniquely designed to give viewers a floating illusion. The Brown division assisted Huntsville in its continuing street enlargement program by performing engineering and design work for four-laning segments of three major thoroughfares. Construction was started during the year on Huntsville's new public library, designed by Reed-Mullins, and the city's new Chamber of Commerce building, which the division designed in association with three other architects. To meet the growing demands for specialized aerospace testing services, Brown Engineering added this hydraulic/pneumatic/vibrationlshock facility, costing more than three quarters million dollars, to its Systems Evaluation and Test Department in March 1964. Reed-Mullins and Associates, Brown Engineering's architects-engineers division, designed this modern structure in the lndustrial Research Park to house International Business Machines' expanding Huntsville ooerations. �The company's architects-engineers division is developing a community fallout shelter utilization plan for the Huntsville area as part of a nation-wide pilot project. The project will provide a general plan for the emergency sheltering of populations in Huntsville and parts of three adjoining counties, and develop techniques to be applied in planning logical sheltering for other communities. Huntsville is one of 57 American cities participating in the pilot program, which is under the direction of the national Civil Defense office in Washington and Stanford Research Institute, with the cooperation of state and local Civil Defense officials, the Huntsville Planning Commission, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U. S. Army Missile Command and Support Command and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. ELECTRO-MECHANISMS I An agreement in principle under which Brown Engineering Company will acquire all outstanding capital stock of Electro-Mechanisms, Inc., of Methuen, Massachusetts, and Nashua, New Hampshire, was announced during the year by Brown President Milton K. Cummings and Electro-Mechanisms President Sidney K. Tally. 35 to 170, and 1964 sales total $510,000. Brown uses E-M's flexible printed cables and multi-layered circuits in the fabrication of telemetry equipment. Other major users of the company's products are the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, International Business Machines and Litton Industries. Acquisition of the firm will augment Brown's outstanding electronics product line and developments in micro-circuitry techniques. In addition to operating the two plants in the East, Brown plans to install equipment to manufacture E-M products in Huntsville and the Southern California area. NEW EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES / The company spent approximately $1.6 million during the past 12 months for new facilities and equipment. Biggest additions were a hydrauliclpneumaticlvibrationlshock facility, to complement Brown's environmental test laboratory, and clean room facilities for the assembly of telemetry equipment. Electro-Mechanisms is a manufacturer of flexible printed cable, layered circuits and similar electronic products. These products have applications in the packaging of modern micro-circuit elements into advanced electronic systems, as well as uses in present day components. The new 5,100 square foot test building contains four steel-reinforced concrete cells which are equipped to provide hydraulic service (120 gpm at 5,000 psi), pneumatic service (70,000 SCFM at 12,000 psi), and vibration to 22,000 force pounds. A mobile 10,000 force-pound vibration system and a fixed 22,000 force-pound vibration system are located so that a single power and control console operates either unit. Insulated lines allow vibration at cryogenic temperatures. The fast-growing company was founded two years ago. Employment has grown from The expansions have resulted in appreciable new business in both areas. �CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS BROWN ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY December 31, 1964, and ASSETS December 31, December 31, 1964 1963 CURRENT ASSETS Cash . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 392,458 $ 210,656 Accounts receivable from United States Government - Note B 3,141,347 3,895,548 Other accounts and notes receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,000 . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,300,732 321,925 . . . . . 1,119,520 506,922 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,329,797 810,817 Unbilled costs and fees under cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts - Note B . . . . . . . . . . .

Huntsville, Alabama We have examined the consolidated balance sheet of Brown Engineering Company, Inc., a n d subsidiary as of December 31, 1964, and the related statements of consolidated income and retained earnings and consolidated capital i n excess of par value of Common Stock for the year then ended. Our examination was made i n accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records a n d such other auditi n g procedures as we considered necessary i n the circumstances. We made a similar examination of the financial statements for the preceding year. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statements of consolidated income and retained earnings and consolidated capital i n excess of par value of Common Stock present fairly the consolidated financial position of Brown Engineering Company, Inc., a n d subsidiary at December 31, 1964, and the consolidated results of their operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. February 3, 1965 &-hJ- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATE,MENTS BROWN ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY December 31, 1964 NOTE A- PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brown Engineering Company, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Space Resources, Inc., which was organized i n September, 1961. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated. Profits realized by the subsidiary have been credited t o the retained earnings account. NOTE B - INVENTORIES AND RECLASSIFICATIONS OF AMOUNTS REPORTED I N THE 1963 ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Inventories of raw materials and supplies of $223,104 are priced at the lower of average cost or market. Work i n process on fixed price contracts of $1,046,079 and finished goods of $60,614 are priced a t cost. Certain items as shown by the Audited Financial Statements for December 31, 1963, have been reclassified for comparative purposes. NOTE C-TAXES ON INCOME During 1963, the Company agreed t o certain Internal Revenue Service adjustments which capitalized certain lease costs and lengthened the amortization period of leasehold improvements t o June 30, 1965; however, the Company has not changed its capitalization policies for financial statement reporting purposes as revenues realized from these facilities have been based on amortization periods expiring i n 1963 and 1964. These adjustments re- ** sulted i n additional federal and state taxes on income for the years 1960, 1961, and 1962 of $214,954. Of this amount, $16,078 and $120,690 has been realized as a tax reduction i n 1963 and 1964, respectively, leaving a balance of $78,186 which has been included i n prepaid expenses and will reduce the 1965 tax liability. The provision for taxes on income for 1964 has been reduced by $39,729 of deferred taxes as a result of changes i n the income tax laws concerning investment credit. The Company's federal and state income tax returns have been reviewed by the taxing authorities for years through 1961. NOTE D - CONSTRUCTION I N PROGRESS At December 31, 1964, the estimated cost t o complete construction i n progress was $69,430. NOTE E - SENIOR NOTES PAYABLE A twelve-year 6% senior note of $1,250,000 will be repaid i n semi-annual installments of $62,500 each, which began August 1, 1964. The Company granted the lending institution a warrant, which is exercisable i n whole or i n part a t any time to February 1, 1974, t o purchase 39,000 shares of its unissued Common Stock for $10 a share. During 1963, 25,000 shares of Common Stock applicable t o this warrant were purchased by the lending institution. After giving effect to the stock split referred to i n Note I, 21,000 shares remain under this warrant at a price of $6.67 a share. From the same institution, the Company received $750,000 representing the proceeds of a fourteen-year 6% senior note with a principal amount of $783,779, which includes $33,779 deferred interest t o adjust the effective annual interest rate to 6%% of the proceeds of $750,000. Any prepayments shall be adjusted t o limit the rate of interest t o 6%% a year. This loan will be repaid i n semi-annual installments of $130,630 each, commencing August 1, 1974. �The notes provide, among other things, that aggregate cash dividends paid, including any proposed dividend, purchase, redemption, or retirement of stock may not exceed an amount equal t o 40% of the Company's consolidated net income after taxes from December 31, 1961, to and including the date of such dividend and redemptions, plus $60,000. Retained earnings which were not restricted under this provision at December 31, 1964, were $631,065. I n addition, the Company may declare and pay dividends, payable solely i n stock of the Company, and may purchase, redeem, or retire stock solely i n consideration for the issue of other stock of the Company. NOTE F - EMPLOYEES' STOCK OPTIONS At December 31, 1964, 36,768 shares of authorized but unissued stock were reserved for stock options to key employees of the Company, pursuant t o the Restricted Stock Option Plan, approved by the stockholders on August 6, 1959. The plan provides that no option may be exercised until the optionee has remained i n the continuous employ of the Company for two years from the date of the option, after which the option may be exercised not later than five years from the date of granting the option. The stock may be purchased at not less than 95% of the fair market value thereof on the date the option is granted, or 110% i n the case of any employee who owns more than 10% of the outstanding stock of the Company. As of December 31, 1964, after giving effect t o the stock split referred to i n Note I, options which are exercisable within four years from the date of granting of the options covering an aggregate of 26,521 shares of Common Stock were outstanding, including options totaling 4,689 shares granted to six officers of the Company.

NOTE G - RENEGOTIATION Substantially a l l of the Company's business is subject t o profit limitation as determined by the Renegotiation Board. The Company has been notified by the Renegotiation Board that no further action is anticipated for years ending with and prior to December 31, 1963. The Company believes that no refund will be required for the year ended December 31, 1964. NOTE H -DEFERRED PLANS COMPENSATION AND PENSION The Company has an insured, non-contributory pension plan and a contributory deferred compensation plan for a l l eligible employees. The Company's contributions t o these plans for 1964 were $208,898 and $619,252, respectively. As of December 31, 1964, the estimated cost t o fund the remaining balance of past service liability applicable to the non-contributory pension plan was $32,400. NOTE I -STOCK DISTRIBUTION On February 21, 1964, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution that a recapitalization of the Company be made i n the nature of a split of its outstanding stock on a 3-for-2 basis without changing par value per share; such recapitalization was a split-up effected i n the form of a stock dividend by issuing one additional share of Common Stock for each two shares of its outstanding Common Stock. The recapitalization was effected by the transfer of $1 for each share of Common Stock thus issued from the capital i n excess of par value of Common Stock account t o the Common Stock account. NOTE J - SUBSEQUENT EVENT During January, 1965, the Company entered into an agreement with the stockholders of Electro-Mechanisms, Inc., Methuen, Massachusetts, to issue and deliver t o the stockholders on March 1, 1965, 25,571 shares of the Company's Common Stock i n exchange for all of the issued and outstanding stock of Electro-Mechanisms, Inc. I n addition, on or before May 15, 1969, the Company will deliver additional shares of the Company's Common Stock based on the average earnings of Electro-Mechanisms, Inc., as defined by the agreement, for the four years ending December 31, 1968, and the average market price of the Company's stock during the six month period ended May 15, 1969. Common Stock issued and delivered under this agreement shall, i n no event, exceed 89,285 shares. The agreement provides, among other things, that the Company provide funds necessary for Electro-Mechanisms, Inc., to maintain a current ratio of approximately two-toone and to provide additional funds, not exceeding $250,000, to finance the acquisition of facilities, machinery, and equipment required for existing and projected production programs.

Profits of $895,028 reflected an increase of $86,223 over 1963. The Company earned $1.26 per share in 1964, compared with $1.14 per share in 1963, based on 709,941 shares outstanding at December 31, 1964. LONG-TERM FINANCING - During the year 1964 a 3 for 2 stock split on March 13, 1964, and 6,451 shares purchased by employees through stock options increased outstanding stock to 709,941. On April 20, 1964, Brown Engineering Common Stock began trading on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "BCO". SHORT-TERM FINANCING -The Company's unsecured line of credit was increased from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 during 1964. The participating banks are: The First National Bank, Huntsville; Third National Bank, Nashville, Tennessee; The Chase Manhattan Bank, New York; and the Citizens and Southern National Bank, Atlanta, Georgia. Short-term borrowings averaged $2,889,000 during 1964 and reached a peak of $5,250,000 during the second quarter. Short-term borrowing is required to handle fluctuations in work-in-process inventory for fixed price contracts and in the normal payment cycle of major government contracts. Borrowing during 1964 was considered normal, and it is anticipated that average short-term borrowing will continue and may be greater during 1965. DIVIDENDS - Quarterly cash dividends of 5C per share amounting to $141,753 were paid during 1964. The eighteenth consecutive dividend was paid on December 18, 1964. Dividends are paid by The Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, which acts as dividend disbursing agent for Brown Engineeri ng. FINANCIAL POSITION - Cash flow provided $1,849,830 during 1964, which was used for the reduction of long-term debt, payment of dividends, and primarily for the purchase of capital assets. Working capital, combined with adequate bank credit, provided a sound financial basis for operations. During 1965 less dollars should be expended for capital assets; therefore, increasing working capital. CONTRACTS - At the end of the year, the contract backlog of $10,000,000 represented approximately a 3-month effort for all major contracts. A change in government contracting methods has resulted in short-term funding of all cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts. New contracts will be awarded during the first quarter of 1965, and longer funding periods are anticipated. SPACE RESOURCES, INC. - Brown Engineering's wholly-owned subsidiary owns the facilities occupied by Brown Engineering Company, Inc., at 300 Sparkman Drive in Huntsville and a 10,000 square foot manufacturing building at Cape Kennedy. During 1964, Space Resources exchanged 7 acres of land at the Sparkman Drive complex for 14 acres at the same location, increasing its land holdings to 84.7 acres. The test and telemetry buildings were completed during the year, adding 12,625 square feet to Brown Engineering's Huntsville facilities. Brown Engineering now leases 247,659 square feet from Space Resources, Inc., at 300 Sparkman Drive.

Stuhlinger contributed to the 1958 launch of the Explorer I satellite by inventing a timing device, helped design the solar x-ray telescope used in the Skylab space station, worked on the Apollo Telescope Mount, worked on the initial phases for what would become the Hubble Space Telescope, and authored “Ion Propulsion for Space Flight.” Stuhlinger served as the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville’s director of the Space Sciences Laboratory from 1960 to 1968, and then as the associate director for science from 1968 to 1975; he retired in 1975. After retiring, Stuhlinger joined the University of Alabama in Huntsville as an adjunct professor and senior research scientist, and he stayed on for two decades.
