Scope and content
A calm sea with a good swell, enabled them to have a long run and measure the feed water. They achieved 25.5 knots for 30 miles. The no. 3 set of 9 screws of 18" diameter, and 24" pitch will be added the following week. Parsons reaffirms that 'smaller diameters and larger pitch ratios will give better results', and anticipates 32 knots.
