Keeping In Touch With The

Every star has his peccadillo. In all pastimes. Some euss a bit. Some squeal. Because of the tension of to-day's play in all sports few can keep smiling.

But onin! George Holley, of England and Sunderland fame, managed it, and one hopes his son, Tom, just signed by Barnsley as a centre half-back, follows in father's footsteps.

MODELS USED BY ARCHITECTS Experiments In Tanks

The use of models of ships and of propellers in experimental tanks is well known to naval architects, and the value of such tanks, not- withstanding their high cost, is well established. Other examples of the study of fluid resistance by means of models are the investiga- tions of air resistance on models of motor-cars in wind-tunnels, which played a large part in the design of the Golden Arrow, and the wind tunnel tests "which have recently led to new external con- tours" in railway locomotives in order to lessen head resistance and also to deflect the smoke from the chimney so that it may not obscure the line of vision of the engine- driver.

Another Beld in which modela are used is in the study of the exects of tides and currents in estuaries, and of the changes in a river bed due to the altered dow in consequence of the erection of a dam. The Commission, which reported a short while ago on the production of power, by tides in the Severni had to forecast what effect the projected dams and the operation of the turbines, would have in altering the depths of water at various Severn, ports and the disposition of the channels and mudbanks generally. To solve this. problem observations were made on a scale model of the Severn estuary constructed at Manchester" University.. The scales of depth and of horizontal distance were not the same, that of depth being Artificial not so greatly reduced. tides, produced by a mechanically operated displacer and of a few minutes in period, simulated the actual tides of the Severn, with all their variations, and tiny water indows, properly.controlled in amount and entering at priate places, represented inflow- ing rivers.

appro→

Many precautions had to be taken, but all the difficulties were successfully overcome, and a re- markably accurate agreement re- sulted between the contours found from the model after it had been operated for a time, representing A very large number of tides and" -those obtained from a survey of the estuary. From this it is clear that experiments made with the.. model with the" addition of scale models of the proposed dams, &c.. and with scale representations of the sequence of flow through the turbines, could be relied upon to give an accurate prediction of what the carrying out of the power scheme would lead to in the actual estuary.
