Scope and content

Informs Combe that sub-committee AB has resolved to consult various people on the best way of presenting fragmentation data. Dr Payman, RRL, and CSRD are giving results which cannot easily be compared. A meeting could be arranged between Prof. Pearson of the Ordnance Board, representatives of CSRD and RRL, Dr Payman, and Mr Van Rest to discuss the issue. Asks Combe whether the idea is acceptable and who would represent CSRD and Ordnance. Mentions Dr Howarth.
