Abstract
Results are reported for a series of experiments in which forces
associated with a propeller fitted with a partial shroud are measured.
The shroud is partial in the sense that it subtends only 180 of the
propeller circumference rather than the full circumference, as is
commonly the case. S. J. Gordon in 1966 proposed that such a shroud
could be used as a rudder if mounted so that it can be moved from one
side to another on the propeller circumference.
