"These towing tank experiments were preceded only by those of Benjamin Franklin.

Using a towing tank constructed under Bossut's supervision, it was determined that the resistance increases as the relative area of the canal diminishes. The text describes the preparations for the experiments and supplies numerous tables of the result." Biblio. mechanica 9.
