He was also the primary engineer for developing and testing a new voice warning system which provides 4 crew members with spoken warnings instead of lights or tones. In addition, he has received monetary payment for several suggestions, one of which simplified use of aircraft wiring data in the F--4 technical orders. Mr, Osborne transferred to Hill AFB in 1979 from an assignment at the Naval Air Rework Facility in Norfolk, Va., where he had been employed F-- pressure probes which will correct design deficiencies and contribute to increased combat capability for the RF-4aircraft.

December 3, 1982 consisted of steady current of proper value applied at an annode which to a ah electrolyte passed through ' cathode. ' This resulted in material deposits on the part being plated. There were several complexities and limits to this process; such as uneven deposition on irregular surfaces and current limitations due to heat buildup. Mr. Clay discovered that by superimposing a pulsating current onto the steady state current good things happened. More current could be applied with less heat buildup, resulting in better deposition of plating on Mr. Clay found that recent developments in paint removers included chemical alteration of paints to rubbery consistency and subsequent removal by peeling. Because the F--4 aircraft have had both epoxy and acrylic nitrocellulose" paints applied to their surfaces, the paint removal process is complicated. ir- regular surfaces and in much less time than the old method.
