The various tests have obviously a very important bearing upon the merits and demerits of installing a multiplicity of shafts and tur bines in turbina vessels for war purposes, and they seem rather to confirm the growing opinion in favour of the simpler arrangement. It of course to be remembered that as regards fuel the report is restricted to coal, and that oil fuel may to some extent vary the general conclusions; bat in any case the report is a helpful addition to knowledge upon the broad iarne, and the engineers of the world have reason to be grateful for the light that it sheds upon a series of problems of profound importanos.
