The Dreadnought, which dates from 1908, was the first battleship to be fitted with steam turbines. Previously, except in the case of small craft, all ships of war had had reciprocating engines. But the success of the engines of the vessel that inaugurated a new naval era was such as to lead to s general adoption of Sir Charles Parsons' invention in the place of that which had done such aplendid service for upwards of a century. Of recent years an im- mense amount of work has been accomplished in improving the efficiency of the marine steam turbine, but there still remains much to be done, as was pointed out recently by Mr. G. Gerald Stoney, F.R.S., at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers The East was emphasised that, in order to attain maximum economy in the turbine-engined ship, the en- tire exhaust from the auxiliary engines should be condensed by the feed-water. The quantity of heat that can be absorbed de- pends, of course, on the tempera-... tare of the condensate delivered from the condenser 'and 'on the
