Ship Propulsion Problems, At the moment there is, perhaps, greater interest in marine. en- gineering problems than there has been for a considerable. time, Why that should be the onge is not at first sight easy to nee, but there are, as a matter of fact, at least two quite convincing reasons for it. Úce is the variety of marine propulsive eye'ema which are actually being made and have already been made. Triple-expansion al quadruple expansion reciprocating stem engines are still most largely manufactured, and
very con- siderable volume of shipping opinion adheres to them, mainly, xe imagine, because of their reliability in the rough and tum ble of san work. Then there are direct-driving turbines of the Parsons, the Brown-Curtis and the pure Curtis typo.
