The cause of this re-action is not to be looked for in the engine itself which has in practice proved itself to be all that was claimed for it being economical in fuel consumption, efficient in its "method of using fuel, and also reliable under sør- vice. Two causes may be said to bo at work to prevent ita moze extended use especially with re- |gard to marine work. These are |(1) the high initial cost of the engine, compared with steam sets of similar power (2). the high" price of fuel oil.
With regard to the first item, it may reasonably be expected that once the manufacturing firms. settle down to work on it: nd stan- dard types and sizes are (volved a considerable reduction in cost of the motor should result. The riak attached to building Diesels without experience and the absence of good reliable formulae for use in designing makes it a matter for careful consideration by firms who have hitherto pm- duced only steam seta with the result that only a few of the large firms have taken up its manufacture it Britain and even in this case many build under license from continental firms who are in a position to supply them with data obtained over a number of years experience and “ which is absolutely pecsary if an engine is to be produced in which production costs do not swallow up the profits and which is at the same time efficient and reliable, Commenting on a paper read be- fore the North East Coast Institu- "Parsengers purchasing Trans-Pacifio Return, dokete have the option of tion of Engineers and Shipbuil returning from San Francisco by steamers of the Pacific Mall 5.B.
