gears. The steam turbine rotates at very high speeds, and when Sir Charles Parson in 1897 first successfully applied it to the pro- pulsion of ships it was directly connected to the propeller shaft. This has proved satisfactory for vessels of about 18 knots speed and upwards. Dr. de Laval, of Stockholm, then
successfulls applied helical gearing to turbines used for land purposes up to 600 brake horse-power. Sir Charles Parsons accordingly began ex- periments in 1901 to test turbines mechanically geared to the screw shaft in a typical cargo vessel of low speed, and showed that this method was suitable. It has now been recognized that increased efficiency can be obtained in fast vessels by the use of reduction
