Noted Builder of Subma- rines Explains Inutility of Proposed Engines Pat termed After France.
His Information is That French Have Discarded the Scheme, Finding It Not Practical.

That the substitution of steam tur- pines for gasoline or oil heavy engines for surface cruising in American sub marines is inprac cticable, in his opin- ion, was the assertion today of Simon Lake, the Bridgeport inventor of sub- mersibles.
 It has been learned that the Navy Department is considering experi- ments with the steam turbine in the G class of boat three out of the four of which are being made at the Lake Torpedo Boat Co, in this city.
 A dispatch from Washington says:
 Steam turbines may Ee substi- tuted for gasoline or oil engines for
 surface cruising in future Ameri- can submarines. Plans are under consideration at the Navy Depart
 ment it was learned today, for steam experiments with boats of the G class now under construc- ton. As yet no public deeisicn has been reached, but the failure of internal combustion engines for submarine work has been so diff1- cult to overcome that navy design CTS are seriously seeking a substiL ute.
 A steam-propelled submarine was built for the navy more than dec ade ago, but proved so hot when the fires were lighted that she was not accepted and never left her dock. Many French submarines employ steam engines successfully and it is understood that a plan, details of which have. not been made public. has been evolved by American navy engineers which promises even better results.
 Regarding the statement of the suc- cess of the French submarines, MT. Lake says:
 Everything is to the contrary So far as I am concerned. France has five of the steam-propelled subma- rines. They were, tried out and found unsuccessful, as far as I can learn, They are not in service.

STEAM TURBINES NOT SUCCESSFUL
 .AS MOTIVE POWER FOR UNDERSEA VESSELS, ASSERTS SIMON LAKE

There are no submarines of that type in this country. While I haven't t experimented with. the steam I have studied the subject, and I am not in favor of it.
 One objection, and q very good one, is that when the submarines come to the surface. they cannot proceed, hay ing to wait until steam is gotten up. That's>a tremendous handicap.
 Tt has been found a crew cannot live with such an engine, under wa ter In the experiments with which am acquainted, the steam engines made nothing like the power the gas oline or heavy oil engines are capable of. I think the submarines mad something like 90 knots with the prev alent types and only seven with the steam engine-something like that.
 "Then again the air holes must be made much larger. In general, the steam engine has not been satisfac- tory"
 MT. Lake said that if the govern. ment wants the steam engine, it can have it in the c type. but he is not in favor of it. He said that some engin- |eers are in favor of the steam engine but he has always been opposed. No conclusive evidence for them has ever been shown, he asserted.
 Two of the G boats being built at the Lake yards have the gasoline engines and one the heavy oil engine.
