The gage holes were drilledby hand, using a No. 54 drill, which is the size that is alwaysused in the laboratory for gage holes. The boring of the tube caused a very slight change ofshape of the walls due to the removal of the inner skin of metal,and after the outside was turned the thickness was uniformlyvarying, usually having two points of maximum thickness diametric-ally opposite and at 90 degrees from these two points of minimumthickness. This slight change in shape was more noticeable in seme tubes than in others and made it impossible to secure uniformthickness without further careful work. 60 6. Method of Testing. Two steel castings were designed to fit over the ends ofa tube. (See Figure 19). Material was ordered with an ultimatestrength of 80,000 pounds per square inch, but the stresses theheads had to carry were comparatively low, for the maximuin loadwas but 102,100 pounds,
