July 19 no. 29 p 614d-614g: Proportions of normal British float for seaplane inside weight range of 3000 to 7000 lb.; twin floats with turtle deck and vee bottom, and with one step approximately at midships; coefficients are mean values of number machines; basis of model tests is Froude's law of comparison; correction for frictional resistance; differences between machine and model tests; floats of similar form. Aug. 30 no. 35 p 748e-748f, 5 figs.: Getting-off speed for floats of similar form is estimated; problems of water resistance; as speed of vessel increases, bow and sternwave systems are effected differently; effect of depth of water on speed; collapse of step at high speeds.
