Outlines usual type of steering experiment, and points out that as this merely measures initial directional stability, it hardly corresponds to combined rotational and translational movement of vessel turning on her circle; discusses stabilizing influence of single-screw propeller, and improved influence of contrary turning coaxial screws; points out economic importance of directional stability in reducing sea resistance of ships.
