" NAVY PACT BRINGS BUILDING PROBLEM Designers and Construction Engineers Hope to Add Power and Cut Weight. By the Assoclated Press. The London naval treaty has ereated many problems to be solved by design- ers and construction engineers in the naval departments of signatory powers. ‘The number of vessels has been re- duced and their tonnage limited, while at the same time, combat efficiency has | to be maintained. Officials of the bureau of construc- tion and repair of the Navy Department said today competition in building more and larger vessels had been supplanted by competition of intelligent effort to build the most efficient fighting unit within the weight and number of ves- sels permitted. Speed May Be Added. “Although not directly responsible, the treaty accentuated effort among de- signers to get the most out of their vessels wi the weight allotted,” said Admiral George H. Rock, chief of the bureau. “Weight saved can be put into other military characteristics, particu- larly speed, armor and guns.” Outstanding weight reduction meth- ods developed by Navy Department de- signers include the use of metal alloys, lighter than steel, wherever safe con- struction policies warrant, and electric welding which involves a saving in weight and cost. Naval designers look forward to the time when rivets will be displaced almost entirely by electric welding. Bonus for Underweight. The Navy Department has inserted a clause in contracts for construction of war craft imposing a penalty for overweight and granting a bonus for underweight. Metallurgists have discovered better alloys with the revived use of alumi- num. The latter substqnce had fallen into disrepute after experiments had shown it crumpled after long contact with salt water, A new process has been developed, however, which resists corrosion and reduces weight. This type of alloy has been used extensively in modern construction. Electric_welding processes were ap- proved after experience in repairing engines of German ships commandeered during the war. Another saving in weights has been effected by the use of aluminum paint. {rd paint has been displaced to_a rge extent by lighter and equally effi- clent aluminum paint.
