Motor Installation Cheaper.
STEAMER ADVANTAGES.
Controversy concerning the res- pective merits of steam and moter ships has reached a more definite basis in Europe than in the United! States, presumably because there are more facts on which arguments may be based, says The Motor Ship. This was exemplified in a discussion which took place before the Pro- peller Club of New York, a short time ago, between advocates respec- tively of steam and motor ships.
The advocate of the steamer, Mr. J. H. King, made some references which stand in need of examination, and we will mention, briefly, the! 3.30 pm.main points he brought forward in favour of the steamer in comparison 4 p.m.
with the motor ship. He said, quite rightly, that comparisons should be made of the most modern classes of Ivessel of both designs. He concern- ed himself mainly with oil firing, and practically ruled out coal as a fuel for steamers. He first claimed the usual advantage that Diesel machinery coats
in Europe than steam plant.
It has already been shown in this journal that with the same specifica- tion for the maximum efficiency, this is not the case, and the differ- ence is negligible. Tenders recently (Due Vancouver B.C., August 1st for a ship with 17,000 s.h.p. and Europe via Biberia machinery showed a motor installs- ..July 14, 5 p.m. tion to be the cheapest.
