THE STEAMSHIP OF THE FuruuE

ne SlfEAMSHlP OF THE EUTUUE
The largest steamships ever built
are now being equipped with turbine
engines. This has led many people
to assume that reciprocating engines
from now are to ra relegatcd to the
scrap heap. But turbine engines have
their drawbacks. They must be run
at high speed to be economical, ana
each propeller has certain speed at
which 1t does It's best work. In tur.
bine ships the engines are run slower
than they should be to produce the
best results and propollers are run
too fast
The latest suggestion is to inter.
pose dynamo and motor between tur.
bine and propeller. BY this means
tho turbine. 1t Is claimed. may BIO
run Mt It's highest profitable speed,
while tho motor could then run tho
propeller ut It's own best speed. A
trial OF this suggestion awaits some
one who is willing to risk huge In.

is that the ship engine of tho future
