The Tank Test Model For The 5.5 Meter Yacht Bingo I
Anonoymous, American, 20th century
The model built up in wood. The interior of the the hull has been hollowed, and the exterior of the hull has been shaped, faired and finished to a race finish. On the leading edge of the bow, down to the bottom of the keel is sand which has been glued in place. This sand was used to create a distubance to the laminar flow, so the flow below the waterline and around the keel could be more easily documented. On the exterior of the hull is marked #2164 which is the identifiaction number for the Davidson Lab at the Stephens Institute where the model was tested. In addition the exterior of the hull is marked on the starboard side with station frames and a dotted line which represents an alternative, longer, waterline. The interior of the hull is marked "Bingo I - Feb. 27 1959 - LLB Jr", probably the carver.
61¼ x 12¼ x 14½ in. (155.6 x 31.2 x 36.8 cm.) model dimensions.
