Extract

Glass Cloth/Polyester resin laminates similar to those described by Irving and Saunders (Journal, February 1954) have been used at the University Engineering Laboratory, Cambridge, in the manufacture of blades for an axial flow compressor. In the first experiments, an existing aluminium stator blade was used as a pattern, and a mould was made by pouring molten type metal round this pattern, held in a steel sided moulding box.
