Our present national emergency accentuates the necessity of utilizing to the greatest practical extent experimental developments in all fields. This same impetus should encourage further experimental investigation, ever advancing the perfection of our works and enriching our knowledge. Only through diligent collective cooperation may we bring our national program to a successful conclusion. As a reward, we hope to achieve the perpetuation of our manner of living, enhanced by an elevated standard of living, or more and better goods for more people, with the satisfaction of a job well done. The ensuing paper presents a descriptive discussion of some of the experimental work carried out by the author while with the U.S.E.D. during the years 1986 and 1967. It concerns a fact-finding model study in connection with a 28-inch dredge pump. This type of pump has given excellent service on various government projects. The discussion is developed for the purpose of acquainting the reader with the high lights of visual experimental work and points out possible applications in other fields. For the sake of brevity and compactness, it will be necessary to condense the description of the more common test equipment. This is facilitated by the use of photographs demonstrating general layouts. |
