Since a, is of order € which is large the bracketed function in (65) is small and positive, 
whence equations (61) and (63) hold also for € larye. 
Thus whether € be large or not the velocity of separation is jyreater than C and the 
solution of this paper is valid at any polnt of tne plate up to tne time it leaves the water.
