- Letter from L. H. Adams to LP, RE: Adams describes to LP several difficulties that he foresees in the development of LP's suggested gun projectile with a rocket feature. There might not be enough space in the cartridge case to add the rocket propellant. Adams is also concerned with the placement of the rotating band and the effect of initial projectile yaw on guns which have already been fired using current ammunition. If these difficulties can be worked out, the projectile could be tested at Aberdeen Proving Ground. However, the conditions for projectile recovery at Aberdeen are not satisfactory, so Adams suggests that testing be done at a range now being constructed near Springfield, Vermont. P.S. Dr. Grieg informed Adams that some work along these lines is being done in England. Has LP had access to any of their information? [Filed under LP Personal Safe, Drawer #3, Folder #3.032]
