About the Book
One of the classics in Naval Architecture, this book is based on a series of Lecture as given by Mr Barnaby to the students of Royal Naval College.
From the Preface to the First Edition:
"
In preparing these lectures for the students of the Royal Naval College, I availed myself of information from various sources.
Now that they are published verbatim in book form, it becomes a duty as well as a pleasure to acknowledge the assistance thus received.
I am indebted first of all — and who that studies the subject of Marine Propulsion is not? — to Professor Rankine. Also to Mr. W. Froude, Mr.Bourne, Mr. White, Professor Osborne Reynolds,
Mr. Sennett, Mr. Maginnis, and Mr. Seaton.
There is, however, much that is new.
The curves in Plate II., which enable the diameter, pitch, and speed of revolution of a screw suitable for any horsepower and any speed to be determined, are now made public for the first time.
For most of the new material, and especially for permission to publish these curves, and the method of producing them, I am indebted to Mr. Thornycroft. It was my privilege to be associated with him in making some 550 experiments with model screws, and a (Considerable portion of these lectures is the result of knowledge thus obtained. "
