I Olympic Pool Model in Wind Tunnel I
A scale model of the
proposed ultra modern
Olympic swimming; and
diving stadium to -be built
at Olympic Park, yester
day passed wind-tunnel
tests with flying colors.
For the past fortnight Mr.
F. Redlich, aerodynamics
consultant, has been testing
the carefully prepared one-
sixtieth scale model for wind
resistance. '
He is pictured above
making the final test in
the wind tunnel at the
aerodynamics school of
the Royal Melbourne Tech
nical College yesterday.
The mbdel was subjected
to wind velocity tests of up
to 80 m.p.h.
The omy fault Mr. Red
lich could find was that
under windy conditions it
would b,e uncomfortable
standing on the staircases
or in the concourse.
He will suggest that these
should be more sheltered.
