ment by which a condenser was
added to the turbine. Some delay in
procuring the blades was owing to
the priority of government contracts
which absorbed every thing in the
shape of turbine supplies for the
equipment of torpedo boat destroyers.
Six months were lost waiting for
100 pounds of blades and, then when
they arrived, another delay was
caused by the absence Of an expert
capable of attaching them to the
turbine. The expert arrived last
week and the installation was per
fected yesterday when steam was
raised and the efficiency found to
be practically perfect. One more
test will be made tomorrow when
the engine viii be run for four.
