Memorandum presenting an investigation of the use of a small quantity of fluid that ignites spontaneously within nitric acid to initiate the acid-gasoline reaction carried out in a 200-pound-thrust uncooled engine with a characteristic length of 30 inches at a range of temperatures. The starting process was divided into two phases: ignition and transition. Results regarding ignition temperature limits, effect of temperature on allowable igniter fuel flow, optimum valve opening time for ignition, effect of temperature on transition process, effect of running-fuel reactivity on transition, and tar-forming tendencies of igniter fuels are provided

Report presenting experimental ignition-delay determinations of mixed alkyl thiophosphites, triethyl trithiophsphite, and propylene N,N-dimethylamidophosphite with red and white fuming nitric acid conducted at a range of temperatures and pressure altitudes. The literature pertaining to the use of organo-phosphorous compounds in rocket-propellant combinations was surveyed and summarized with emphasis on ignition-delay investigations
