RUDDERS.

THE CHINA MAIL.

Interesting Alteration To Cunard Liner."

In addition to the extensive re- newal of turbine casings in the machinery of the Cunard liner Carinthia, carried out recently at Messra. Vickers' works at Barrow, A very interesting alteration in the stern post has been made since the vessel's return to Liverpool.

Nearly all the post-war vessela built by the Cunard Company are fitted with single plate type rudders with a small overhung balancing member on the forward side, fled beneath the vertical line of the rudders pintles. This arrange ment, coupled with the form of the stern post, results in approximately

a 36-inch space between the rudder stock and the stern post, and per- mits very considerable eddying to take place from the immediately adjacent propellers.

The improvement which has just been caried out consists of filling each of the spaces between the rud- | der pintles with steel box structure fittings. The lowest one has been made to the radius of the stern frame, and the upper ones more or lesa rectangular, while an addi- tional streamline cover plate has been fited on each side of the box | to secure an oven flow of water past the stern frame and thence to the rudder itself.

No work has been done to the actual rudder, but should the alters-) tion already carried out prove that { it is worth the expenditure, no doubt a further streamline plating of the rudder structure will be put in hard.
