Summary:

This note contains the results of tests to determine the resistance of four sizes of streamline wire. The tests were made at various velocities and it was found that the resistance of streamline wires was considerably less than that of round wires of equivalent strength. Scale effect was also found since, with an increase of Reynolds number, a decrease in the resistance of coefficient ws obtained.
