Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
THE METHOD OF MAKING A RADAR REFLECTOR COMPRISING FORMING AND RETAINING A LAYER OF RESINOUS MATERIAL IN A GENERALLY DISH-SHAPED CONDIDTION, CURING SAID RESIN, SANDBLASTING THE OUTER CURVED SURFACE OF SAID RESIN, SPRAYING A METAL UNIFORMLY OVER THE SANDBLASTED SURFACE, PERMITTING SAID METAL TO HARDEN ON SAID SURFACE, IMPREGNATING THE SURFACE OF SAID SPRAYED LAYER OF METAL WITH SUCH THERMOSETTING RESIN, IMPREGNATING A FIBERGLASS CLOTH WITH SAID RESIN AND APPLYING THE IMPREGNATED CLOTH TO SAID IMPREGNATED SPRAYED METAL SURFACE, APPLYING A CELLULAR SUBSTANTIALLY RIGID MEMBER ON THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE IMPREGNATED FIBERGLASS CLOTH LAYER, IMPREGNATING A SECOND FIBERGLASS CLOTH WITH SAID RESIN AND APPLYING SAID CLOTH OVER SAID CELLULAR MEMBER, REMOVING ENTRAPPED AIR AND PRESSING ALL OF SAID LAYERS RADIALLY TOGETHER AND CURING SAID RESIN IN AND BETWEEN SAID LAYERS, TRIMMING THE MARGINAL EDGE OF THE RESULTANT CURED MASS, IMPREGNATING A FIBERGLASS MATERIAL WITH A THERMO-SETTING RESIN AND APPLYING SAID MATERIAL OVER SAID TRIMMED EDGE, AND CURING SAID LAST MENTIONED RESIN IN PLACE.
