ANU VP2200 and CM-5 Individual Research Reports

This section presents individual reports on internal projects supported by the Time Allocation Committee on the VP2200 and the CM-5. The reports were prepared by the individual principal investigators in a standard format. In some cases several projects are combined into a single report. At the time of going to press reports had not been received for a small number of projects.
