'THE'ECONOMY OF; TUEBINES. ■' : ■ ~ ON THE. T.S.S. OTAKI; At the joint" summer meeting of the Institute of Engineers and .Shipbuilders in Scotland and of the North-Eaat Ooaßt Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders, which took place' in Glasgow in Augußt, Engineer-Commander Wiertom. nV then gavo a paper on "TboTrlclß and-Perform-ances of the Olakli Fitted with a Combination of Ecolprooatlng anrt Turbine M-iohinery " afho Otaki, built by Messrs. Win. Donny ahd Bros in 1908. was tho first merchant vessol to be built with such a combination, and sho waa virtually a sister shin to the twin-screw -steamers Orari nud Opawa. bnilt in 1906.... Tho Otaki wan designed for a continuous eeo-spood of 18 knots, and a trial speed of 14 knots. .On the measured mile-tho Orari did 14.6,kn0t5, while tho Otaki under tho same conditions, with 'apparently greater oase, did over 15 knots, with 6.per cent less water consumption. On sorvico tho Otaki's coal consumption on tho voyage from Liverpool to Tenerlffe was It pdr cent. less than tho moan for tho sister vcssola Orari and Opawa under, similar conditions, and at practically the same spocd. On tho round voyage from Liverpool to New Zealand and beck the Otaki averaged 11.09 knots, with an apparent gain in coal Consumption of ahput 8 per cent., as compared with her sister ships, which represented about 500 tons of coal for tho round voyago, and as tho vessol left England with sufficient coal for tho outward run, this would permit ot tho cargo

carried being Inoreasod by "one-half of' that amount. It was,, however,, confidently anticipated that a greater gain in economy would bo obtained In the future It was considered that the performances of the vessel showed that a nigh degree of economy might bo anticipated in the - combination typo of engine, an economy probably highor than had'been obtained in any . other, type of marino cngino.for vessels of this , classy i There appeared little doubt, the author said,-that in i vessels of.'lOw speed, for which' ' '•■' - Parsons', turbines alone wore unsuitable, and where economy was of'primaryimportance, this system;oould bo advantageously omnloyed.
