Materials Engineering Laboratory interim report, LF-8 and LF-9 support pad fabrication

摘要

This project was for the fabrication of 50 LF-8 and LF-9 support pads (clamshells) which would conform to the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) drawing provided in Appendix A of this report. Discussions on this contract were initiated in early October and involved delivery of all the pads by January 31, 1977. The project was modified to deliver only 10 pads by the above date. However, since the period encompassed Thanksgiving.and Christmas shutdowns, it was decided that delivery of four units by February 11, 1977 would be satisfactory to all concerned. The remainder would follow on a timely basis. This report outlines the status of the project at the present time. The data are divided into the following categories for clarity purposes: Mold master definition and fabrication, Process drawings, and Mold and piece part fabrication.
