Economical Design of Hydraulic Pipe-Line Dredge
The hydraulic pipe-line dredge described in this paper3 is possibly the largest and most powerful built to date (1930) and embodies some new and novel equipment and construction features. It was designed for the Great Lakes and ocean service as well as for river work. The steel hull is made exceptionally heavy and rigid not only to withstand the machinery vibrations, but to support the dredge without failure if it sinks on an uneven bottom. The curved ends of the hull are the result of experiments to determine that shape which would require the minimum power for towing.
