As contractors directly responsible to the government, the Electric Boat Com- pany through its staff located at Fore River, have exercised supervisory in- terest in the construction of these boats. Upon ecompletion, however, they pass wholly into the hands of the Lilectric Boat Company, who then proceed to carry © t the many and exhaustive trials demanded by the navy depart- ment. The local manager ot the iulectric Boat Company is S. A. Gardner, and associat- ed with him is a staff of accountants as well as technical assistants. It may be of interest to know that the trials of a submarine are in no way comparable to the trials of a surface vessel. In addition te the trials on the curface, there are tests as to submerged speed, radius of action, manoeuvring ability, strength of hull, ete. This last must be demonstrated by an actual sub- mergence of the boat to the maximum depth guaraonteed bv the contractors. In order to expedite trials the Klectrie Boat Company has built and equipped a houseboat machine shop which is moored in the harbor of Provincetown. The measured mile is located on the extreqn. ity of-Cape Cod, and it is in this vicinity that the more imyportant trials are car riecd out. Almost ideal econditions for this work are found there. and the ar- rival of u submarine in Provineetown 18 considered of no more interest by the 'tip-dwellers tl an the arrival of 1 fish- ing smack. In the trial crew are many men- who have been associated with the company ror a nuniber of years engaged In simiiar work although under widely varying conditions. Sometimes it is the English flag instead of the stars and stripes that is taken down Just before flooding the ballast tanks, and in times past it has been the Italian, Russian, Japanese, Duteh and Chilian flags. Capt. P. E. Glynn, who has charge of the trials, probably has made more sub- merged runs, more maximum depth tests than any other man in the United States, and his passengers and Inspec- tors have consistad of ‘men of all creeds and colors.
