Sinopsis
Excerpt from Wave Action: In Relation to Engineering Structures
It is therefore a source of regret to the writer that so little time was available, after these instruments were installed, for investigating their action during storms, and adopting such modifications or improvements in construction as might be shown to be desirable.
It had been his intention not to submit the results of his observations upon shallow-water waves until he had secured much fuller observations with diaphragm dynamometers, but his assignment in the spring of 1903 to duties of a purely military character precluded the possibility of securing such observations, and it was therefore thought best to present what had thus far been obtained, hoping that others would continue investigations in this important field, which has been as yet so scantily covered.

Excerpt from Wave Action: In Relation to Engineering Structures
Sir: 1. I have the honor to submit herewith a paper on "Wave Action in Relation to Engineering Structures," with 38 accompanying plates, figures, and photographs, by Capt. D. D. Gaillard, Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.
2. This paper contains information of great value to officers of the Corps of Engineers and to the engineering profession at large, and I have the honor to recommend that authority be granted by the Secretary of War to have it printed, with its accompanying plates, figures, and photographs, at the Government Printing Office, as a Professional Paper of the Corps of Engineers, and that 1,000 copies be obtained for the use of the Engineer Department upon the usual requisition. I certify that these illustrations are necessary to a full understanding of the paper and relate entirely to the transaction of public business.
3. In a letter which is on file in this office, Captain Gaillard has tendered to the Engineer Department the use of this paper, with free consent to its publication, expressing the desire, however, to reserve to himself all other rights therein, which he proposes to protect subsequently by copyright, if allowable under the laws relating to copyrights.
