Defective Plates.

The special board appointed by Sco.
rotary Herbert to examine q niimbel
OF defective structural steel plates de-
llyercd by the Carnegie Stesl Company
at Newport News for the batt!eships
kentucky and Kcarsage; has submitted
its report to the navy department.
The board finds that the quantity OF
plates unfit for use depends upon
whether the transverse u the lonsitu-
dlnal bending test is required. The
steel was found to be superior in quail
lty to the best commercial steel, as
well as to that ia use in any foreign
navy. The board recommends chances
in specifications to proyido,for both
longitudinal and transverse bending
tests in future. ~
