Von Seeckt maybe? I think he started tank production in Germany between the
wars but don't quote me:-)

Kalman? Much of his aerodynamic work was applied to vessel hulls.

... I can't recall the guy's name!

I posted this inquiry on the WoodenBoat Forum but no luck, so I'm
thinking a Bolger fan will know this if anyone does.

Can anyone tell me the name of the German engineer who, in the early
Twentieth Century, ran some tank tests (some of the first) to determine
the most easily driven hull form? It turned out to be (in body plan) a
flat bottom and upright topsides, connected by a diagonal bilge. Lots
of P. Bolger's designs (Cartopper, Chebacco etc.) have this feature,
which is named after the aforementioned engineer.

Chapelle discusses all this in one of his books but I have not been
able to ferret it out. Does anybody have any notion of what I'm
talking about? Has the Mad Cow Disease finally got me?

... I can't recall the guy's name!

I posted this inquiry on the WoodenBoat Forum but no luck, so I'm
thinking a Bolger fan will know this if anyone does.

Can anyone tell me the name of the German engineer who, in the early
Twentieth Century, ran some tank tests (some of the first) to determine
the most easily driven hull form? It turned out to be (in body plan) a
flat bottom and upright topsides, connected by a diagonal bilge. Lots
of P. Bolger's designs (Cartopper, Chebacco etc.) have this feature,
which is named after the aforementioned engineer.

Chapelle discusses all this in one of his books but I have not been
able to ferret it out. Does anybody have any notion of what I'm
talking about? Has the Mad Cow Disease finally got me?
