Item 51t (Air and Gas Piping => Equipment Building and Air Heaters)"" ::: '>

a) The work included under Item 29 has now been combined withwork classified under Item $40 It has been agreed that theentire combustion air and exhaust piping system will be ­

·divided into three (3) partso

(1) From a point in the Combustion Air linesat the header spaces to the Altitude ChSIllberso

(2) Piping at the header spaceso

( 3)' Piping around the air heaters and in theEquipment Buildinge

Specifications will call for individual prices on thesegroups in such a way that the header area piping can bedeleted from the contract if it is found that major re=design is necessaryo

b) Sepia tracings of all drawings covering the CombustionAir Piping system and the exhaust gas piping sys temin the Equipment Building as well as a combinedspecifica­tion for same will be forwarded on June 7th for issue tocontractors for bids o

c) We are making a complete study of the pressure drop fromthe Combustion Air system from the discharge of 'thesecond stage compressors to the inlet of the AltitudeTest Chambers based on the drawings to be submittedto contractors as mentioned aboV6o As soon as thisstndy has been completed and tabulated we will submitsame to you for commentso

d) We are also ma.king a. study 01' the pressure control andtemperature control valves for mixing air at the variouspressures and temperatureso As soon as we have preparedsui'ficient data for this SUbject we will discuss thisWith you at a coni"erenceo
