LOG BOOK
Steam Turbina
The name of Sir Other Á. Parsons, who has given 35,000 to the Royal Institution to be naɔd in any way the members think best, is inseparably connected with one of the greatest inventions of the age. It was he who first ...lat half May made the steam turbine a pos- ...let half Mayeibility, thereby not only revola
tionising maritime engineering. and making possible the very bigh speed rarships and inercan- tie vessels of to-day, but laying engineers on land under an equally heavy debt of gratitude. The steam turbine is to-day so Duch sodepted as a matter of ourse that it is difficult to realise that the first vanael to demon- strate the value of the new method of propulsion only appeared in the year of Queen Victoria's Dia- mond Jabilee.-Globe,
"The steamers are all fitted throughout with electric light and have accommodation for a limited number of saloon-passengers. All steamers carry a duly qualified surgeon. Cargo taken at through rates to all ports in Netherlands-India and Australia."
