Extract

This is the first meeting at which it has been possible to talk openly about transonic tunnels with ventilated working sections. Many already knew that a large number of tunnels, particularly in the U.S.A. and this country are being built or modified with slotted or perforated working sections. Up to quite recently, however, security considerations have shrouded this work but it is now possible to draw the curtain.
