Bir Joseph Isherwood's claims are based, not only upon trial with models in the Yarrow Tank of the Froude Laboratory at Teddington in other experimental tanks but on trials, and, most conclusive of all, on actual freight carrying

Prospect Of New Orders There can be no doubt that Bir Joseph Isherwood's new hull de- signs are a great advance on the old "box-like" section, with their consequently greater wetted sur- face and skin friction.

A more efficient and economical design of merchant ship is to be welcomed. It is the only effective answer to the fact that freights have dropped below remmerative levels. And another, most im portant result of the new form is to be expected.
