Experiments made with five 4-bladed propellers of 0.80 face-pitch ratio; comparative results at different Reynolds numbers, and for tunnel and "open water" tests; effect of variation of static pressure head is shown by thrust and torque curves to base of cavitation number; early stages of cavitation illustrated; description of tunnel and consideration of design modification.
