with the hull structure. At any rate the hull and engines were designed and coustructed as indicated by these calculations and the result, according to reports of the trials held, show complete freedom from _ vibration. This is a most important matter and it would be well if the results of the study made could be fully published. The Korsor has gone into service as a combined passenger, railway car and automobile ferry across the Great Belt between Zealand and Fyen. This CU — sede eire th — —] Tog crossing is a very difficult one and it is necessary to have utmost depend- ability in the main machinery. There is a strong current running across the passage into the jetty at Korsor harbor and it is necessary to maintain practically full power in order to make steerage way. Ferry Route Has Grown It is interesting to note that the ferry route on which the Korsor now operates was opened in 1883 when 132,492 passengers and 13,482 tons of freight were transported.
