■ me experiments on the resist-> t nas of mercantile ship, forme carried out in the William Froada tank at the National Physical Laboratory. He mentioned that during the part your the tank bad been largely used for test work for various abipbuilding firms, The resistance of at least five large vessels has been reduced by over 10 per cent, owing to modifications in form made as the tank, and several others bare been appreciably improved. The consequent saving in coal per year for a single one of these, hve ships would be more than euf cient to support the tank for the same period. Investigation of the resistance and tipping (mo- ments experienced by seaplaus floats has yielded some interesting results; a considerable improve ment has been effected as regards the power required for propulsion, and a float which is stable in character and, of a low water resistance has been evolved.
