A -- METALLIC FILAMENTS AND FLAKES VIA RAYLEIGH BREAKUP AND NOVEL APPROACHES TO MELT SPINNING SOL DAAM01-97-Q-0026 POC Tandee I. Carr (410) 671-4398 The U.S. Army Chemical and Biological Defense Command (CBDCOM) intends to negotiate with M Structures, Inc. of Baltimore, Maryland for a new Firm Fixed Price contract, for the development and building of prototype devices for production of uniform fibers. The effort will consist of providing two prototype devices; one using sonically induced Rayleigh break-up of liquid streams for length control, the other inducing break-up via magnetic techniques and providing operator training. M Structures, Inc is the only contractor that has the extensive experience necessary in both melt spinning and sonic/magnetic pulse technology to perform this effort. See Note 22 (0190)
