Synopsis
Excerpt from The Resistance and Power of Steamships
Tyne, we are glad to acknowledge our indebtedness to the lectures of Professor R. L. Weighton, m.a, whose method of treatment we have sometimes followed. We are also under considerable obligations to Sir W. H. Tite'e Manual of Naval Architecture, and Mr. D. W.
Taylor's Resistance of Ships, as well as to the classical papers of Froude, Rankine, and others mentioned in the text.
