In reply to inquiries, Mr. Bell said the curve of the slip was of the same radius throughout its length. It was an arc of a circle drawn through three points--that of the fore end, that of the after end, and that of the bottom of the half-tide gates or caissons. Mr. J. U. Napier asked if there was any reason why the curve should not always be adopted. For the Clyde, where so little space was available, it would be a very good plan, notwithstanding that a little more hauling power might be required as a ship approached the upper and steeper end of the incline. He believed Mr. Wood of Port-Glasgow had used curved launching-ways for newly-built ships. Mr, Bell thought there could be very little objection to the general adoption of the curved slip. It was true that with it the hauling strain was greatest as the ship neared the upper end, and very great care and nicety was required in laying down the rails in the true curve, whilst unequal settlement of the foundation was very injurious. This had, however, to be provided against with equal care when a straight incline was adopted. Mr. N. Rob8on inquired what was the comparative cost of the slip dock and of Mr. Edwin Clarks new system. He understood the latter was accompanied by a saving of 25 per cent. on the old system.
