Dynamites of Naval Craft - Identtfication 
provide a simpler means of determining the required dynamic data 
without recourse to complicated special purpose test apparatus, 
More opportunities to apply these methods for this purpose will pro- 
vide a final demonstration of its utility and practicality.
