<p>The purpose of this investigation was to design,
construct, and test a device which was to be capable of
applying a compressive force and a shearing force to a
plane panel of plate.  This device was then to be used
to determine the combined effect of shear and compression
on a panel of plate of a length-to-width ratio corresponding
to the representative ratio of plating dimensions
most often found in ship construction.
