It is already decided that in many | of these liners Diesel engines will be utilised. Internal-combustion motors can now be constructed without any element of risk sult- abla for the largest ships, and if, for instance, we -assume that an output of 60,000 b.h.p, be requir ed on quadruple screws for the new White Star Hiner, this can be ob tained with twelve-cylinder engines of a type of which numerous ex- amples have been in service for two or three years merely by in- creasing the cylinder diameter 2% Ins. A stationary engine of 15,000 b.h.p. has already been built,

The aaying in the fuel used with such an installation compared with the best results, yet achieved with steam would amount to approxim ately 250 tons of oil daily, and, as owners of motor ships are continu ally finding, the reduction in the. fuel bill is but one of the many advantages conferred by the adop

tion of oll engines. The problem of increasing the cylinder dimen alons to a certain extent does not now possess any terrors for the manufacturer, since builders are prepared to construet 25,000 s.h.p engines having a cylinder diameter of 1,050 mm, compared with about! 900 mm, which now represents the maximum: adopted.
