The anti-rolling reservoirs are ffective only when the ship's period of oscillation is quite regular, which is not the case in the opon son, because tho period of rolling of a ship is dependent both on that of the Waves and on the ship's speed. A difference of one-third has been observed between the period of oscillation of a ship at rest and that of the same ship at a speed
of 15 knots.
