on pneumatic control system mock-up

260
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:10,610
including the gas generator to evaluate

261
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:13,450
the problem and to determine a solution

262
00:12:18,430 --> 00:12:16,730
the j2 engine gas generator valve case

263
00:12:21,580 --> 00:12:18,440
was connected to the control pressure

264
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:21,590
point then tested analysis of test data

265
00:12:25,570 --> 00:12:23,600
indicated that this method of assembly

266
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:25,580
would be successful in preventing an

267
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:28,310
