The Whirlwind Cab-over Design. This design was first used in 1950.1Lab ObservationsResults<3-4 page presentation of analytical and measured results with explanation of what they are. Graphs should be clearly labeled. This section should contain short, clear declarative statements of the results in reference to your presentation of specific graphic or tabular data, which are also presented. Distinguish between "Figures," which are schematic drawings, photographs, graphs, etc. and "Tables," which are tabular compilations of data or computational results.>Discussion<3-4 page discussion of results and their application to the development of Whirlwind’s latest product. The principal task is to interpret the results, to note what is "as expected", what is unexpected, and what is of technical interest. The interpretation of the results in terms of the motivation for the experiment and its correlation to the current Whirlwind Corporation project should be the focus of the discussion. >Conclusions< 1 page giving conclusions in one or more simple (declarative) sentences. Remember that Whirlwind engineers are looking for concise statements that clearly tell them what your results and discussion have formulated. Make specific conclusions about how and why the technology investigated can be applied to Whirlwind Corporation’s new product design problems. >References1. Walker, R.E., A.R. Stone, and M. Shandor.

A criterion for the deciding whether or not to put somethingin the appendix is to ask the question "Is its inclusion in the main body of the report required for the logical description of the investigation?" If the answer is "No", the item should either be left out or put in the
