Abstract
THE spring meetings of the Institution of Naval Architects commenced on Wednesday, March 16, in the rooms of the Royal Society of Arts. The institution has now completed its first fifty years of existence, and proposes to celebrate its jubilee by special meetings commencing on July 4. The council also recommended that the present time is favourable for applying for incorporation under a Royal charter, an opinion which was endorsed by the members at the Thursday meeting. A presidential address was delivered by Earl Cawdor, and premiums were awarded to Dr. T. E. Stanton and Mr. H. C. Anstey for papers, respectively, on the resistance of thin plates and models in a current of water, and on the application of internal-combustion engines for marine propulsion. Thirteen papers in all were presented at the meetings, abstracts from some of which we give below.
