| Description: | Technical memorandum Foreword: The study reported by this memorandum was accomplished at the U. S. Waterways Experiment Station, for the Bureau of Yards and Docks, U. S.

With respect to the problems involved and to the method of approach, the study is unique; and with regard to their value to our war effort, the findings have been worthwhile. Major K. E. Fields, C.

Successively in charge of the study, under the supervision of Mr. C. B. Patterson, Assistant Engineer, were Messrs. John A. Pollak, John C. Goodrum, and John E. Arnold, Junior Engineers. This report was prepared by Messrs. Patterson and Arnold. Acknowledgment is offered for the helpful suggestions of Mr. Martin E.
