Modern propulsion alignment theory is reviewed, emphasizing need for its use in preliminary design or in investigation of existing shaft system; reference is made to "fair curve" alignment theory, developed from analysis of shafting difficulties with United States naval vessels, and to concept of Reaction Influence Numbers; computer solution is shown; procedure is shown for preliminary design of shaft system, using curves developed from merchant ship data as example; similar curves could be developed for destroyer type configuration.
