RECORD SPEED

DESCRIPTION OF THE TURBINE
BOAT vIPER-FoUR SCREW
SHAFTS. EIGHT SCREWS.
The torpedo boat destroyer Viper is
the first vessel OF larger size than the
TWplnia to be fitted with steam tur-
bine machinery, by which she is able to
attain record speed Of 35.5 knots, or
nearly forty-one statute miles. The
Viper is more than twice the size OF the
Turbinia, the dimensions being
Length, 21O feet; beam, p feet; dis
placement, $50 tons The indicated
horse power is about II 900.
The most noticeable feature is the
entire absence of vibration, which en-
ables guns TO be trained much more
accurately than when reciprocating en-
gines are used. Other advantages
which will appeal more directly to en-
gineers are the facts that turbine en-
gines take up considerably less space
consume less coal per horse power, re-
Quire less care and attention when run
ming, and are cheaper in first cost than
ordinary engines.
The turbine engines Of the Viper are
similar 10 those of the Tlrbinia, but In

sets, one on each side OF the vessel
There are four screw shafts in all: en-.
tirely independent of one another, the
two shafts on one side beine
driven by one high and
one low pressure turbine respectively
The two low pressure turbines drive
the inner shafts, and to each OF these
shafts a small reversing turbine is also
permanently coupled. and revolves idly
with the shaft when going ahead
These reversing turbines provide suf
fciept power 70 drive the vessel asterr
at a speed OF fifteen knots. The screw
shafts are carried by brackets a.
usual and two propellers are placed OF
each shaft, the foremost in each cas-,
having a slightly lesser pitch than tn,
after one. There are thus eight pro
pellers in all. The thrust from thu
screw shafts is entirely balanced by tn
steam acting on the turbine, so tha
there is extremely little friction. Th
boilers are Of the Yarrow type, and tn
hull and all fittings are Of the usual de
sign.-lndustries and Iron.
