'Life' Photographer Takes
Pictures of Cavitation Tests
By ARNIE BLOOM
Underwater cavitation experi
ments at the College's new water
tunnel have recently been photo
graphed for possible use in Life
magazine, by Life staff photo
grapher Albert Fenn.
Fenn said the picture series
would be used as part of the ma
gazine's program o f bringing
scientific phenomenon down to a
level which could be understood
by the general public. "Since I
don't understand the cavitation
phenomenon myself," quipped
Fenn, "the series would have to
be of an 'tin-technical' variety."
Torpedo Problem Different
Operators of the tunnel briefly
explained cavitation as the na
tural phenomenon which causes
a trail of air bubbles to form as" a
rotating propellor rum- through
the water. The seeriiiligly small,
harmless bubbles do cause tre
mendous damage, especially on
ship propellors, they pointed out.
The bubbles eat away the metal
surfaces of the propellors causing
them to be replaced at frequent

intervals to keep the ship in pro
per working order.
The problem on torpedoes is
somewhat different, the opera
tors added. Here the actual run
ning time is short and the pro
pellors are not eaten away. The
cavitation does effect the course
which the torpedo follows, how
ever, thus making it a vital prob
lem to take into consideration in
submarine warfare.
Fenn was not attempting to ex
plain this phenomenon of Li f e
readers in his photographic series.
He was merely trying to make
readers aware of the problem and
to present some interesting
,pic
ture patterns.
When he first got the assign
ment, Fenn said, he expected to
spend no more than two or three
days taking the shots. Once he
started the work and saw the tech
nical difficultieth, he was satisfied
to get the necessary pictures in
about a week's time.
A typical experiment consisted
of bolting down a metal disk three
