Some Tough Ships.

The class in history was wrestling
with the terrible experiences of the con-
tinental army at Valley Forge when the
teacher asked one to describe the hard
ships of the patriot army. A small girl
finally volunteered an answer, brief ana
comprehensive. THE hardships at VAL
ley Forge were very hard ships; they
were the hardest ships in all the world'

engineers ASSOCIATION HEARS !
ADDRESS ON centrifugal PUMPS

Before a large audience composed
of members of the Hawaiian Engineer
ing Association and their friends, E.
w. Green, an expert on pump engi-
neering, spoke in the Library of Ha-
wait last night on the subject, Cen
trifugal Pumps" The address was
interesting and highly instructive, be-
ing a technical treatise on the theory
and application of modern centrifugal
pumps The meeting was presided
over by r. r. Hind, president of the
association. ..@....-.
In part Mr.. Green said:
Within the past ID years the cen
trifugaI pump has been developed
from a relatively crude and often I'M
reliable machine into the most simple,
reliable and efficient type of pumping
equipment for almost any condition of
service, this being the result of ex
tensive investigation by leading engi-
neers, the development of the correct
theory and practice applying to the
problems involved, and the advances
in the art of designing and building
this type of pump. At the present
time centrifugal pumps are In success
full operation under almost all condi-'
lions of service. The engineering
public is recognizing the many advant-
ages inherent in this type of pump
and the field fer it's application to the
solution of divers kinds of pumping
problems is constantly broadening.
The use of the centrifugal pump
in connection with the production of
sugar is undoubtedly particularly in
to the members of this as
sociation, and therefore in briefly Ia
king up the application of this type
to the solution of pumping problems
only this field will be considered.
Every engineer is anxious to secure
the best pumping equipment, for the
entire factory is dependent upon the
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-07-24

continuous and successful working Of
the pumps. The efficiency, continu-
ity of operation and cost of mainte-
nance of this portion of the, equip
ment affects the total cost of manu-.
facture, and therefore the most sim
pie, reliable. efficient and economical
pumping equipment should be in
stalled. -. r"
I'm the centrifugal pump there is
only one moving element, /. e., the i'm
peller and shaft. There are no valves,
rods, pins, or springs as in other
types, where reciprocating parts are
in direct rubbing contact, and the con-
sequent wear makes frequent adjust
ment and replacement of parts neces-
sary, and as well tends to decrease
the efficiency of the unit. The sim
plicity of the centrifugal pump makes
1t most reliable, as there is very
slight possibility OF breakdown, and
there is nothing to get out of adjust
ment. The cost of upkeeD is very low,
as there are no points at which wear
occurs except the two shaft bearings
and the rings around the impeTler
hubs, consequently new parts are sell
dom required. The surfing boxes
cause very little wear on the shaft if
properly designed and require only
a small amount of attention, as it Is
easier to pack box for a rotating
shaft than for one with a reciprocal
ing motion ..... .-H-
THE elimination of valves and
springs is an important point. and
one which has great effect on the
maintenance and labor cost. The
centrifugal pumD will deliver more
water per unit of space occupied than
any other type, therefore requiring
the minimum space for installation.
With correct design the internal parts
are easily accessible for INSPECTION.
The first cost of the centrifugal pump
is comparatively moderate. The
