of Rome the Admiralty constant comes out 297.6, and for the Normandie
282.8, while a modified constant comes out for the two ships 234.4 and
233.7 respectively, again showing marked agreement. It may be
mentioned that in these two ships the engines are of a similar type,
being three-crank tandem engines, and the propellers have in both
pitch and surface practically the same proportions to the power and
speed. The value of these modified constants will probably be found to
increase as the speeds increase up to the limit and beyond that point
at which wave resistance becomes an important factor.
