Secrets Of the Testing Tank Of British
Admiralty Constructors.

Admiralty Constructors.
One Of the most important and
certainly the least known of ournayal
establishments is the testing house at
Haslai, says the London Pail Mall Ga
Eette. So jealousy are the secrets Of
the place guarded that naval officers
even are not alloWedto enter it unless
they first obtain an official permit,
These permits are but sparinglyl
granted, for the British admiralty has
q penchant for not letting its right
hand, as represented by one branch
Of the service, know what its left
hand, represented by other branches
is doing. In this case secrecy is NOT
maintained without good reason, fof
the testing tank, to give the place lie
everyday name, is a sort Of incubator
where the ideas Of naval architects
are Matched out. When the chief
constructor designs a new ship his
proposals are laid before the admiral
ty, and, if approved, rough draft 1
sent to the officials in charge Of the
testing tank. These make a complete
new model Of the proposed new man
of-war, and carry out experiments
which demonstrate to a nicely
whether a ship Of the submitted de-
sign will achieve what is expected Of
it.
The model is made to scale and Of
parafin wax, the only substance suit
able for the purpose. 1t is then placed
in a long tank filed with water. To
the bow Of the model is affixed q
length Of string having weight hung
at the other end Of it. This weight
gradually draws the model along the
tank. AS it moves calculations are
made which give the speed Of thieves
sci under various conditions and with
different engine powers. Stability Is
also ascertained, for two guides run
on either side Of the model the fun
length Of the tank. Careful watch Is
kept to see whether the model heels
to one side or the other, and not until
it has foated the full length without
touching the guides is the stability
correct. Should the model lean to
one side or the other, the top heavy
parts are carefully shaved off until
perfect equilibrium is obtained. The
shavings are then weighed in delicate
balances and calculations made which
give to a pound the reductions in
weight which have to be made in yari-
Gus parts Of the ship to insure herthe
right degree Of %metaeentric height.
When this has been done the infor-
nation obtained is sent up to the adj
miralg. The necessary modifcs-
tons are made, and the complete
plans Of the ship got ou-. Onceagain
the testing tank is called into opera
ton. More wax models are made and
tried, and not until the officials at
Haslar report that all is as desired Is
the order to build the ship given.
The tanks were established as the
outcome Of a series Of important ex-
periments in the effect Of wave me-
ton upon ships. These experiments
were begun by the late Mr.. Froude, a
brother Of James Anthony Froude,
who made discoveries of such i'm
portance that the admiralty adopted
his methods of research, and set up
the establishment at Haslar, placing
Mr.. Froude in charge of it.
