Speed, Water Resistance Tests in Model
Tank Decreases Errors in Construction

naval architects for the past 40
years have been adding speed,
subtracting horsepower and saw
ing millions Of dollars through
discoveries arising from these
basin voyages.
Model hulls at Card ,ock arc
towed down a 963 foot long
pool by a carriage that looks
slightly like a perambulating
bridge II spans the 81 foot
width Of the basin and runs on
rails on either edge. This track
took two years TO build. II fol-
lows the course Of the earth s
curve so that the pull of gravity
will be constant, and varies no
more than .005 inches Vertical
~ or literally.
The towing carria. can give a
uniform speed anywhere from
! 10 IL knots. Its shipboard
equipment includes, besides a
couple Of catwalks, a set Of
scales for weighing Water re-
si"tance. and a life prcservcr.
Sometimes an observer tumbles
in --, and the basin is feet
deep.
There are also a shallow bas-
in and one for testing high
speed craft and Navy plane
models. All. are housed in an
immense shed from which out
side air and all daylight (and
most artificial Light are eXclud-
ed. The absence Of light discour-
ages the growth of underwater
flora and fauna.

Other departments Of Il Mod

In one shop are made 1920
scale models Of enemy warships

are machines, two stories high,
devoted To the destruction Of
large size marine equipment
One OF these machines the
other day was busy bouncing a
huge steel girder up and down,
at brisk tempo and under l04,-
600 pounds pressure, as easily as
a ham vaudevillian flcxes his
bamboo cane. This woul con-
tinue until the girder broke.

a secret nature. But they don't

die, or rev ealing that this plant,
now three years old, is the best

legal and lyrical gem, Trial by

A SPECIAL POINT

In fact. F1orenz AmeS, in this
exalted role. seemed to make a
special point of making certain
verses present and indicative.
Philip Tully, whom we did not
hear opening night, made his first
appearance last night, both as the
outraged groom in Trial by Jury"
and later as the dictatorial captain
of The Pinaiore. He has an
excellent voice and handsome bear
ing that sorts well with almost
any musical comedy assignment.

ARIsToCRATIC CORN

Altogether is was a particularly
pleasing performance and. if in
certain respects, il seems a little
corny. let us not hesitate to re-
mind you that it's corn from an
old and established firm.
Trial by Jury" one of the first
OF the Gilbert and Sullivan collab-

in its type of legal lampoon that

| crossed the lobby. The desk
man grinned at me. that polite
little grin that is standard equip
ment for all hotel desk men.
"Buenos." | said 10 that grin as I
waited for Mirtilo TO pass through
the door
Outside, the autos were honk-
ing in the gutter: on the side
walks, the peddlers were selling
their hand-toOled leather cigar
cite cases. their pottery, their pa

American tourist with blond hair
And Mirtilo was walking fast
about ten yards ahead Of me.
The sensation that | was be-

down San Juan de Letran after
Mirtilo. This job Of hunt-and

there is always excitement IN

big midday dinners digestCd and
the night is switched on like q

would promote.
Again I recalled that Fall. not

10 me but had warned ne not 10
take any unnecessary chances.
But there IS no standard d"finr-
tion of unnecessary chances Nj

whirling- I kept thinking that
Taggard's daughter had promised
