STEAMSHIP BRAKE.

ThOusand-Tonner stopped in Twen-
ty Feet and Thirty Seconds.
London Leader.
Collisions at sea, from the awful catas-
trophe of H. M 8. Victoria downward,
might have been averted and valuable
lives saved, says a Croatian engineer
named CZetkOvitch, if the collding steam
ers had been fitted with his patent marine
brake.
The brake consists of a large curved
plate Of steel attached to the stern of
the steamer, which can be lowered at
will into the water. The screw Of a steam
ship, it should be explained, when work
ing ahead causes a stream of water of
terrific force to flow back in the direction
from which the ship has come, and by
lowering the plate of steel into this
stream the power Is obtained necessary
to check the ships way and bring it to
a standstill independently OF the engines.
Since the stream caused by the screw
is OF greater force when the ship is steam
ing fast. the brake would work equally
well whether the speed were 20 knots or
10 knots.
The Clottlde, a steamer of 1000 tons,
when steaming at speed Of 10 knots,
was brought to an absolute standstill
within so seconds, during which she
travelled so slowly that only 20 feet were
traversed after the brake was applied
The result was obtained in spite of the
fact that the engines were working full
speed ahead the whole time.
