New development of idea of using rapid transfer of water to reduce roll of ship has been introduced by John J. McMullen Associates, New York; layout, known as Flume stabilization system, has only one moving part, water, and consists of pair of internal tanks, connected by flume or duct; weight of ballast restricted to high side is source of principal roll dampening effect, and control is effected by rounding of vertical corners where flume and tanks are joined; diagrammatic illustration.
