As the science of naval architecture advanced, designers gradually discardedmodels as a means of designing vessels, using almost entirely pencil and paper. The present custom gives a certain value both to modelling and drawing anda combination of the two systems is now used. Plans alone, especially in thecase of an important craft, have not been accepted as final by designers. Afterthe drawings have been completed, there sometimes exists a doubt as to whetheror not the lines drawn on paper convey the exact ideas of the designers, and ina great many instances models have been made after the designs have been ap-parently finished, in order to insure proper carrying out of the LONGITUDINAL SECTION MODEL OF STEAM YACHT lOLANDA.
