Abstract

This is an interesting review of developments in ship propulsion machinery during the last 15 years. The author deals first with warships, describing the power equipment of vessels built before and during the war, such as the old "Australia" and the famous battle-cruiser "Hood," and comparing this with the machinery of later vessels such as the new "Australia," the destroyer "Acheron," and others. The changes in steam practice and the improvement in efficiency are remarkable. He then considers merchant ships in a similar way, showing what improvements have been brought about in steam practice, and comparing the performance of vessels such as the "Orama," which was the most economical ship afloat in 1924, with the "Empress of Britain," the most economical vessel now. Turbo-electric drive, the use of exhaust turbines, various fuels for boilers, and Diesel propulsion also discussed.
