THE PRESIDENT :—You have heard these names, gentlemen; a motion to adopt the rec- 
ommendation of the Council and admit them to the various grades will be received. 
Proressor H. C. SApLER:—I so move. 
The motion was put to vote and carried. 
THE PRESIDENT :—The first paper for the afternoon session is one that ought to be of 
a great deal of interest to all of us, and it is entitled “Machinery and Trials of the Passenger 
Ships—American Legion Class,” by Mr. Robert Warriner, Chief Engineer of the Bethlehem 
Shipbuilding Corporation, and a Member of the Society. 
Mr. Warriner, in the presentation of the paper, stated: 
“When Mr. Rigg read his paper on the design and construction of passenger ships at the 
Society meeting last year, it was suggested that there should be a paper on the machinery for 
the ships in the class of the American Legion, and this paper is therefore presented to the 
members of the Society, and it is hoped will prove interesting, as there are included in our 
paper the results of a test of the tank on a model with rudder, a self-propelled model, and 
also we give standardization trials of one of the ships at the exact draught at which the model 
was drawn. 
“Mr. Rigg has already given us a considerable amount of information regarding these 
ships, and in the paper you will find brief particulars which are necessary to have in mind to 
consider the results of the model tests and standardization trials. The vessels are of the 
shelter-deck type, with straight stern, and through the stern the frame is constructed in a 
longitudinal section.” 
Mr. Warriner then abstracted the paper at some length.
