Theoretical investigation into problem of efficiency of paddle wheels and towing efficiency of paddle tugs; treatment is chiefly mathematical; author states that tug too small by definite amount for certain work increases towing costs for upstream work above possible minimum, much more than does tug too large by this amount.
