I. de Graff Publishes "Ship Model Testing"

By D. Phillips-Birt

A new book, describing the use of models for research into basic questions of ship design and con- struction, is being published by

John de Graff, Inc., 34 Oak Avenue,

Tuckahoe, N.Y. 10707. The book is titled, "Ship Model Testing," and is written by Douglas Phillips-

The use of models for research into basic questions of ship design and construction is a growing field in view of the new importance at- tached to speed, seaworthiness and maneuverability. This book gives a general review of the hydrody- namic principles and experimental techniques involved in the various types of model tests used. Written for both student and practising naval architects and ship designers, this book will interest all those in any way responsible for ships and their design.

After serving his student appren- ticeship with John I. Thornycroft,
