The new machinery which has now, been fitted consists of twin screw Sulzer two-stroke Diesel engines, cach having six cylinders 940 mm. bore by 540 mm. stroke. These are rated at 675 b.h.p. at 210 r.p.m. each. The accommodation in the vessel has been extensively altered and modernised, so that the vessel now has all the comfort of the most modern yacht. The im- provement in accommodation has been made possible by the greater space available in a vessel fitted with Diesel machinery.
The ongines are the standard port scavenging air Injection type of two-stroke engine that has been adopted by Messrs. Sulzer Bros. for all of their larger marine Installa tions. The only respect in which the engines fitted 01 the "Narcissus" differ from the larger units is that the piston rod is of relatively greater length, and has a gland Atted on this rod separating the crank chamber from the work- ing cylinders. This arrangement is provided because of the consider able amount of lubricating oll that would be splashed on to the plston In an engine running at over 200 r.p.m. if the usual design with the piston running into the crank cham- ber were adopted.
