Synopsis
Excerpt from Wave Action: In Relation to Engineering Structures
It is therefore a source of regret to the writer that so little time was available, after these instruments were installed, for investigating their action during storms, and adopting such modifications or improvements in construction as might be shown to be desirable.
It had been his intention not to submit the results of his observations upon shallow-water waves until he had secured much fuller observations with diaphragm dynamometers, but his assignment in the spring of 1903 to duties of a purely military character precluded the possibility of securing such observations, and it was therefore thought best to present what had thus far been obtained, hoping that others would continue investigations in this important field, which has been as yet so scantily covered.
