INTRODUCTION

This supplement to Energy: A Continuing Bibliography with Indexes (NASA SP-7043) lists 405 reports, journal articles, and other documents announced between April 1, 1974 and June 30, 1974 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR), or in International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The first issue of this continuing bibliography was published in May 1974 and supplements are issued quarterly.

The coverage includes regional, national and international energy systems; research and development on fuels and other sources of energy; energy conversion, transport, transmission, distribution and storage, with special emphasis on use of hydrogen and of solar energy. Also included are methods of locating or using new energy resources. Of special interest is energy for heating, lighting, for powering aircraft, surface vehicles, or other machinery.

Each entry in the bibliography consists of a standard bibliographic citation accompanied in most cases by an abstract. The listing of the entries is arranged in two major sections, IAA Entries and STAR Entries in that order. The citation, and abstracts when available, are reproduced exactly as they appeared originally in IAA or STAR including the original accession numbers from the respective announcement journals. This procedure, which saves time and money accounts for the slight variation in citation appearances.

Five indexes-subject, personal author, corporate source, contract number, and report number are included. The indexes are of the cumulating type throughout the year, with the fourth quarterly publication containing abstracts for the fourth quarter and index references for the four quarterly publications.
