ELECTRIC SHIP
ISA SUCCESS

The placing of an order by the Mon
treal Transportation Co. for canal
boat to ply on Canadian waters with
Diesel engines and electric transmits
sion has been watched with much in
terest.
The practical results obtained are
expected to be the subdivision of the
total propelling power into number
of independent units, each with its
own Diesel engine and generator; the
freedom of the Diesel engines from
any shock and from frequent handl-
ing, reversing etc.; the perfect ease of
control through electric switches. and
the low revolutions of the single pro-
peller-S0 per minute, where as the
Diesel generating engines run at or
about 400.
The Tynemount, while the first sea-
going vessel to be electrically propel.
ed, is in no sense an experiment. but
from its trials may be determined the
possibilities of electricity in marine
work. 1t should not be forgotten in
this connection that there are many
problems in naval architecture which
cannot be adequately dealt with with
out some such medium as electricity
affords. Mechanical gearing is no ri,
val and no substitute, nor is the ny.
draulie apparatus of DIR. Fottinger
Both of these systems compel the in.
stallation of the machinery to take al
most the exact arrangement universal
in the direct drive and prevent the
ready application of the power gene
rated save to one purpose and in one
direction. The Introduction of cleo
tricity will change all this enabling q
centralstation effect to be obtained
the power being generated IN any suit
able part of the vessel and distribut
ed for one or more purposes as and
when desired. Such a possibility
points to profound change in the de
sign Of vessels. the consequences oil
which cannot yet be fully determined
The Tynemount is steel vessel 25(
feet in length, AZ feet inches il
