Talk:Turbinia

message: One of the last survivors of the original Parsons/Turbinia demonstration, stated in the 1960s that Parsons had been asked by the Admiralty to demonstrate the performance of the Turbinia at the Spithead Review.
He also thought that the Admiralty were hoping that Turbinia might distract attention away from the rows of battleships which were obsolecent and had to be towed to their public moorings.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.93.199.154 (talk) 12:36, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I am Robert Forsythe TWAMWIR Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Wikipedian in Residence. I have today changed the name of the gentlemen standing in the conning tower picture from Charles Parsons to Christopher Leyland. This is because museum curator Ian Whitehead has numerous pictures here of the people involved and is absolutely of the view that the gentleman in the picture matches the latter and not the former.TWAMWIR (talk) 11:17, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Christopher Leyland or Charles Parsons 

message: "He was subsequently invited by Sir Charles Parsons to film and photograph the vessel in the Tyne and the pictures captured (one of which is shown at the top of this page) remain the defining image of Turbinia at speed".
It is worth discussing the picture further. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Turbinia_At_Speed.jpg describes it as on the Tyne and the article heads to the same. Can I respectfully suggest this is palpably impossible. "Off mouth of the Tyne" is plausible. The vessel is in open sea and the Tyne ends very directly between two piers. Can I ask others for how they think the photo should be correctly described? You will understand that with the vessel about 100 feet from my screen, there is interest in these matters.TWAMWIR (talk) 14:19, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

message: On the text it say three turbines driving three shafts. On the infobox says a turbine (one probably) driving three shafts? Because the three stage turbine counts as one?
Is there a mistake or where there 3 turbines?--Pawlin (talk) 09:20, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
