Summary:

A new method of studying the flow of the water along the bottom of a model of a flying-boat hull is described. In this method, the model is fitted with a transparent bottom and is divided down the center line by a bulkhead. The flow is observed and photographed through one-half of the model by means of the diffused illumination from a batter of lamps contained in the other half of the model. Photographs of the flow, particularly of the changes that occur when the step ventilates, are shown.

The results of the present investigation indicate that the method has considerable promise, chiefly in connection with motion-picture studies.
