Where can I find the RICSAC crush measurements?

Q: Where can i find the RICSAC crush measurements?
A: The damage measurements, photos, and test reports and data aquisition information is contained in the original reports on RICSAC.
A summary of the tests was created in 1980 by Smith & Noga "Examples of Staged Collisions in Accident Reconstruction".
We also refer you to our 1997 SAE paper 970961 RICSAC-97 - A Reevaluation of the Reference Set of Full Scale Crash Tests for more accurate impact speed change (DeltaV) values.
The original reports are also posted up: (please let us know if these are unreadable as we have the original documents and at some point may post up better scans)
For additional information see our RICSAC thread.
