Reference number: RR/14/276

Description

Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Similar investigations have been published in technical journals, and are much more valuable than the current paper. The paper presents no new methods, whilst newer methods are being used by other researchers. The results are unimportant and no conclusions are drawn from them.
