Experiments were conducted at University of Michigan Naval Tank for U. S. Shipping Board; determination of effect upon resistance of variation in tangent to sectional area curve at forward perpendicular, and also effect of varying amount of area at forward perpendicular; use of bulbous bow offers opportunity for unsymmetrical movement of displacement; problem of selecting proper form of hull for given set of conditions is not going to be simplified by these experiments; rather, problem becomes more complicated.
