To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is another cause which would render very small angles impractica- ble ; it is the great velocity which would be necessary to drive the screw round, thereby developing a large amount of friction in the engine. From neglecting to take friction into account, this deduction does not agree very well with experiment, as will be seen from the valuable experi- ments made by John Fincham, Esq., of Her Majesty's Dock-yard, Ports- mouth. When the angle of the screw is constant we have, by last probl...em, the square of the velocity, varying inversely as the length and the fourth power of the radius. .". «; is a maximum when -r — - is a max. h r* If r be constant, « is a max., when - is a max. ' ' h Hence, when the radius and pitch are constant, the velocity will increase as the length diminishes. This property is illustrated by the experiments on Her Majesty's ship Rattler.—See the " Artizan," 1845, page 55. Ft. in. ft.
