The paper reviews briefly experimental techniques and data-correction procedures developed in connection with studies in the High Speed Water Tunnel, California Institute of Technology, for hydrofoil force measurements. The matters discussed relate chiefly to problems of force measurement in cavitating flow and to procedures devised to solve them. Items considered in this connection are water-tunnel balances, the effects of tip-clearance flows, tare corrections, the importance of cavity-pressure measurements, cavitation scaling, tunnel-wall effects, and hydroelastic effects.
