W. Baer, director, Ship Technical Division of

J.M. Voith, G.m.b.H., presented a technical paper to the Eastern Canadian Section of The

Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engi- neers, titled "Principle and Design of the

Voith-Schneider Propeller and its Incorpora- tion in Ship Design."

The paper was expertly presented by Dr.
