Scope and content

SZ suggests Mrs Ruskin approach the National Research Council for the statistics she requires on wounds. That sort of information, as far as it relates to World War II, is covered by the Official Secrets Act in Britain. The sample of plastic Mrs Ruskin sent did not do very well in penetration tests, not compared to other easily procurable materials.
