This having something TO push
against" is the great problem In pro
peller design Some years ago an in
terestiug tank experiment was carried
out to Investigate unexplained speed
losses OF course If water were solid
the faster the screw revOlved the
faster the ship would travel This
was shown by throwing a beam OF
light directly on the blades at one
point in the circle After a certain
speed was reached what looked Ike
a large blister developed about the
middle Of the blade area In reality
this was q spot OF vacuum. Water
was being shot out radially by the
propeller faster than It could flow
oacE.
So that now on our fast cruisers
and des-rOyers we carve away the az
ter hull and give body lines that in
duce fat flow into the screw High
speed turbines must be geared down

pellers themselves made only steep
enough to give push without outru1-

And though IL hasn't any real bear

For instance
principle Of the Screw" means
next to nothing to the average man.
Screws hold down hinges. panels and
thermos bottle covers Screws are the
little metal gadgets which are al
ways getting lost A nut is an inside
sum total OF popular knowledge about
screws amounts TO the fact that they
og in or out according to the way you
twist them.
As for the ships prOpeuers, most OF
us don't even connect them with
screws at all Yet the theory OF them
considers water IS solid as wood and
the prOpeller's advance analogous 20
that OF screw revolving through
substantial and unyielding medium.
Truly enough q vessel "bOres ahead"
Way back in the stone Age men
knew screws Recently discovered
tribes Of EskimOs give US good sam

use OF spiral grooves on hunting I'M
plements. Threaded bone plugs are
still used 20 stop wounds In sea game
lest the body sink. Seals especially
are inflated by the hunters blowing
into the harpOOn cut and screwlng in
a little rough hewn peg.
1t Is curious that very nearly the
first use OF screw prODellers on yes
sells came with the development OF
submarines. In 1875 David Bushnell
built a queer. pear-shaDed sub which
floated upright. He had two sets OF
revolving ores" as he called them,
that were really screws He was
afraid someone would bag his idea
before he perfected it.
These oars" were real screws. That
Is, their blades comprised a spiral sur
face through one complete turn That
one in a horizontal plane raised or
lowered the craft; while a common
vertical screw propelled her.
John Stevens, in 1905. without any
definite knowledge OF the egg Bush
nell was so secretly trying TO hatch,
fitted q screw on his IS foot steam
boat Very early in the game he re-
allied that only a small percentage Of
the screw area could be utilized
Rapid revolution threw the water
away and left nothing to push
against So came about our present
bladed propeller. which Is merely
