dc.description.abstract	The free piston compression shock tube provides a simple means of obtaining shock Mach numbers of the order of 30. This paper concerns the design and development at Cranfield of such a shock tube. The problems encountered in evolving a piston capable of withstanding heavy impacts at the completion of its stroke are outlined, and some preliminary shock tube performance data given.	en_US
