 pp. 509-511. Describes open-water tests of 37 

 model propellers in a systematic series. All the 

 propellers are 20 inches in diameter, are 3-bladed, 

 and have ogival blade sections with elliptic blade 

 outlines and no skew-back or rake. The series 

 covers a range of P/D ratio from 0.4 to 2.0 and of 



developed-area ratio A^/Ao from 0.2 to 1.1. The 

 data are plotted in chart form.

70.21 Design of a Wake-Adapted Propeller by 

 the Circulation Theory. Propeller design by the 

 chart method is analogous to the design of a hull 

 by working from a series such as the TMB Series 

 60, or by virtually copying a previous design 

 having the proportions desired, combined with a 

 good performance. However, there comes a time
