INCREASE STRENGTH OF BOAT
Vessel Recently Constructed In Eng
land on Which Is What 10 Called
Corrugated System.

AS a means OF increasing the longi-
tudinal strength OF a vessel without
any corresponding increase in the
weight. a vessel has been recently
constructed In England on which Ia
called the corrugated system. and the
results Of the innovation as noted In
actual experience have been very sat
isfactory. Along the entire length Of
the vessel there are two corrugations
in the lower part of the hull and are
entirely out OF sight when the vessel
is loaded and their efficacy In impart-
ing increased stiffness to the hull are
not to be questioned. The stress on
the material IL reduced at both keel
and gunwale. The construction OF the
sides OF the ship with these corruga-
tons il rather an addition than q
vital alteration OF the main structural
system, and It can be supplied to any
type OF steamship. The builders claim
that the extra cost IL slight: and the
dead weight carrying capacity Is in
creased from three to four per cent.
The coal bill Is reduced from IL to
Is per cent for the same speed; or.
II the coal consumption Is maintained
as before, the speed Of the ship with
the extra dead weight Is increased
from 0.25 to 0.5 knot. according to
the size and class OF the ship.
