STUDENT CO-OP
A&M basked in the light of victory for 10 minutes of
the second half here last night, but determined Arkansas
came from behind to record a 61-52 win and grab undisputed
possession of second place in the Southwest Conference bas
ketball race.
Ken Hutto, leading point maker for the Aggies, brought
3,000 White Coliseum fans to their feet by calmly dropping in
two free throws to give A&M a 29-27 lead. Hutto’s charity
shots came only two minutes deep in the second period and
were followed one minute later by Bill Brophy’s two free
throws that gave the Aggies a four point lead.
The loss was A&M’s first at home in SWC play, and
enabled Arkansas to jump a

at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft
Jet Engines Tested '
in World’s Most Complete
Privately Owned Turbine Laboratory
Located on the bank of the Connecticut River
at East Hartford is a singular development facil
ity—the Andrew Willgoos Turbine Laboratory.
Here, behind windowless, thick concrete walls,
many types of engineers find a never-ending
challenge in the development and testing of
advanced aircraft engines.
Test methods used by Pratt & Whitney Air
craft in their unique laboratory are highly com
plex. Tests are conducted on full-scale experi
mental engines at simulated altitudes up to
76,000 feet. Extremely high speed airflow, with
pressure and temperature accurately controlled,
duplicates speeds as high as Mach 2.75. To re
produce such prodigious flight conditions, ex
traordinary equipment had to be devised. For
example, a 21,500-hp driving dynamometer sup
plies the enormous power needed to test jet
engine compressors over a range of speeds from
800 rpm to 16,000 rpm.
The time lapse between development and
production of new engines is reduced consider
ably by the advanced facilities of the Willgoos
Laboratory. An outstanding example of results
achieved through- concentrated engineering ef
fort and complete research support is the Pratt
& Whitney Aircraft J-57 turbojet. Today the
unchallenged leader in its field, the J-57 is
merely the forerunner of greater aircraft engines
that will power the preeminent military and
commercial aircraft of the future.
Engineers in control room of one of eleven test cells
at Willgoos Laboratory record important characteristics
of gas turbine engines in operation.
Andrew Willgoos Turbine Laboratory where jet engines and their components are explored.
Cooling water from the Connecticut River can be pumped through a maze of conduits at
the rate of 160,000 gallons per minute — iYz times the consumption of a city of half
a million people.
B-45 flying test-bed is shown here with an experimental jet engine suspended directly beneath
the bomb bay. Its regular engines are idled while in-flight performance of the turbojet is
observed and recorded. The perfect complement to the complex ground-testing facilities of
'the Willgoos Laboratory, the flying test-bed is another vital factor in reducing engine
