Even in this enlightened and progressive era one not infrequent- ly. comes across naval architects} and marine engineers who have not the slightest confidence in the findings of the model experiment tank; neither do they consider that the results of tank researches are of any great value in Improving the propulsive performance of full- sized ships.

clusively show that the experimen- tal tank has proved and is prov ing of inestimable technical and economic value to shipowners and shipbuilders; that can safely be left to the experiment tanks in the country and abroad. The work they are doing in giving us more efficient bull forms, improved pro- pellers and better combination of hull and propeller is surely, if slowly, bringing the shipbuilding and ahipowning world to recognise that the tank is more than a play- thing and mental gymnasium for the high-brow, few,
