BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE AND LIST OF PRINCIPAL WORKS CONSULTED. Tonnage and vessel measurement are large subjects concerning which there is much printed information. The list here presented includes the titles of only the principal works used in preparing this report; and the books, reports, and papers consulted furnished only a part of the data required in the preparation of the report, much information having been obtained by correspondence and conference with shipowners, the builders of ships and engines, and government officials in charge of vessel measurement. Especially valuable information was given by the Principal Surveyor to Lloyd's Register for the United States and Canada and by the Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair of the Navy Department. The United States Commissioner of Navigation, Hon. E. T. Chamberlain, has been frequently consulted. His knowledge and experience were of much assistance. The leading printed sources consulted may be conveniently grouped with reference to three subjects: (1) Tonnage and vessel measurement, (2) types of vessels and ship construction, and (3) internal-combustion engines and oil-burning steam engines. The materials on tonnage and vessel measurement are scattered and fragmentary, and have been printed at different times since 1850. The measurement rules and instructions of the leading countries and of the Suez Canal Co. are reproduced in the appendices of this report. The appendices also contain the Report of the International Tonnage Commission of 1873, the Report of the British Royal Commission on Tonnage of 1881, and extracts from Lieut. V. Béret's Étude Sur le Juageage. Béret's work contains the only recent comparison of the leading codes of measurement rules. It also presents briefly the history of measurement. Among the principal historical sources are the Report, Minutes of Evidence, and Appendices to the Report of the British Royal Commission on Tonnage of 1881, the Report and Minutes of Evidence of the Select Parliamentary Committee on Tonnage of 1874, and the correspondence of the British delegates and Procés-Verbaux of the meetings held by the International Tonnage Commission of 1873. The Nautical Magazine published a series of 10 articles on "Tonnage, Past and Present," during 1889 and 1890, which contain much historical data. Good, but brief, historical chapters may be found in White's Manual of Naval Architecture, and in Lloyd's Calendar of 1911. Of the books on types of vessels and on ship construction, in their bearing upon tonnage, special mention may be made of Walton's Present-Day Shipbuilding; Capt. Paasch's Marine Dictionary (From Keel to Truck); Holm's Practical Shipbuilding; and Bile's The Design and Construction of Ships. The types, construction, and tonnage of warships are well described in Attwood's War Ships, Robinson's Naval Construction, and in the Instructions for Standard Ship Calculations of the United States Bureau of Construction and Repair. Internal-combustion marine engines and oil-burning steam marine engines are of recent development. The references given below include the titles of several books on ordinary gas engines; but the up-to-date and most instructive material on the Diesel and other internalcombustion oil engines for seagoing vessels is to be found mainly in technical journals and in the proceedings of the associations of marine engineers and of naval architects. Special mention, however, should be made of Chalkley's excellent book on Diesel Engines for Land and Marine Work (1912). Technical papers of special value are to be found in the proceedings of the Institute of Marine Engineers of Great Britain (1910-11 and 1911-12), and the Transactions of the Institution of Naval Architects of Great Britain (1911 and 1912). An instructive address by Dr. Rudolf Diesel on the "Present Status of the Diesel Engine in Europe," has been printed in pamphlet form. These and other works on oil engines, however, treat tonnage questions only 61861-13- -15 217 incidentally. Most of the information in Chapter X of the present report was obtained from correspondence with engine builders, shipbuilders and vessel owners. The following list is not given as a complete bibliography on tonnage and vessel measurement, but as a convenient compilation of the leading printed sources consulted in the preparation of this report.
