The results of the model experiments have been published before the SNAME from time to time to make them available to the profession as soon as possible;this led inevitably to some duplication and the occurrence of a number of minor errors. In the discussions on these papers, a number of requests have been made that the results be brought together in a single publication. In carrying out this suggestion, much of the preliminary work has been omitted since it did not have any bearing on the ultimate results. Readers who are interested in these historical and development phases of the Series can find a full account in the individual papers. For convenience, these are listed separately on page R-5 immediately following the list of specific references.
