MORE POWER FROM STEAM.
Combination of ReciprOcating En-
gines and Turbines.

Washington, Aug. 21.---AccOmpany-
ing the bids of the new 26.OOO-ton
battleships Arkansas and Wyoming
are novel engineering devices looking
and especially at low speed where
the turbines hitherto have not been
economical. The Navy Department
formulated one plan, which was sub
mitted to the contractors with the
specifications. The contractors have
another series Of plans for machinery
The Bureau of Steam Engineering
proposes to have in each engine room
reciprocating engine on one shaft
and a Parsons turbine on another
The steam from the engine will go
through the turbine before it reaches
the engine. BY the combination of
turbine and reciprocating engine, to-
gether with very high vacuum in
the condenser, more work is got out
of the steam and hence greater econ
omy is obtained at all speeds
This device has not yet been used
on any vessel in, the United States
Navy, but it has been tested on Brit
ish naval vessels and found satisfac-
tory. 1t is also in use on the passen-
ser ship Laurentio, plying from Mon
treal to Liverpool, and several other
vessels. In each instance there. has
been a saving in steam consumption
The Fore River Company submit
ted eight different types of machinery
for it's proposed vessels. One of these
schemes is to have a turbine driving
a dynamo, one shaft and an electric
motor, and steam turbine on an
other shaft. The electricity will do
the actual turning of the shaft, the
engines generating the electricity.
This plan has not yet been tried on
any vessel, but has been tested by the
company at it's works on shore. The
company's experts promise great
things for the plan.
