"The distribution of crater debris from 500 lb. M.C. bombs, two detonated in clay and two in chalk, has been measured.

"The vulnerable area for personnel having presented areas of 1 sq. ft. and 2 sq. ft. has been computed as a function of the minimum mass likely to cause injury.

"The velocities of a small number of individual pieces of debris have been determined photographically." Graphs and tables are included. Two of the copies only have 11 leaves, due to reductions in graph sizes.

Three copies.
