Tom, you mentioned the earliest known use of DLR you came across was in 1938 edition of Skene's. A quick search in google books finds a mention of it in a marine enginneering paper from 1893 and a naval architecture text from 1911. http://books.google.com/books?q=displacement+to+length+ratio&btnG=Search+Books Dixon Kemp's books are also available for free in their entirety if anybody else is interested. http://books.google.com/books?q=Dixon+Kemp
