Abstract
M. EIFFEL has contributed much to the experimental study of aerodynamics and aeronautics, and his experiments at the Eiffel Tower some years ago upon air resistance at high velocities will be recalled as establishing the truth of the squared law for velocities up to 40 metres a second. His subsequent researches at his laboratory in the Champ de Mars will be familiar to all students of the subject, and more particularly to those concerned with the more practical aspects of aerodynamics as pertaining to the design of aeroplanes. In this paper he describes some recent researches, and also the apparatus and equipment at hrs new laboratory in the Rue Boileau, Auteuil, which the writer has had the opportunity of inspecting, thanks to the courtesy of M. Eiffel and of M. Rith, his able collaborator.
