Oblique impact tests were performed on RX-04-DS and on the extrusion cast explosive RX-08-AZ. Partial reactions were observed on RX-04-DS at 5.0{prime}, 45{degrees} and at 1.25{prime}, 14{degrees}; no reactions were observed with RX-08-AZ in the severest of tests. Vertical drop tests were performed on 6 inch-diameter hemispheres of LX-04-1. Results are tabulated. A series of accelerometer instrumented oblique impact tests were performed to obtain normal and rotational acceleration versus time. Half-inch gap test series were performed on RX-08-AZ. No experimental work with the friction test apparatus was done this period.
