RADICAL DESIGNS From data derived from these | tests come craft of radically new | design. . The specifications of a new type of flat-bottomed Bear Lake in the Northwest Terri- tories were drawn up from data calculated at the NRC tank.

REALISTIC CONDITIONS Everything possible is done to simulate the action of a ship mak- |ing its way through the water. | When the NRC .scientists found a test model failed to develop the bow-wave turbulence of a life-size ship, they tried fixing a copper {wire near the bow.
