MARINE REVIHW. | 15 A QUEER COINCIDENCE! THAT SERVE RIBBED TUBES AND ELLIS AND EAVES DRAFT SHOULD BE IN THE BOILERS OF THE Two Most Economical Cargo Steamers in the World! ENGINES OF THE INCHMONA-- Hull, 325 feet long, 461% * beam, 20% « draft, Engines, 17, 24, 34, 42 and 42x 42 in. stroke. THE BOILERS ARE FITTED WITH SERVE RIBBED TUBES AND THE ELLIS AND EAVES DRAFT. ra) i This steamer carries 5,000 tons cargo, 9 knots an hour on a daily fuel consumption of 111% tons coal. This amounts to 1.07 Ibs. of coal per horse power per hour, over 1% pound less than the best showing made by any lake steamer with any kind of draft, and the lowest ever obtained in marine practice. ENGINES OF THE KENSINGTON-- (AMERICAN LINE.) Hull, - 480 feet long, 57. * beam, 40 " deep. Twin Engines, 25%, 37%, 52% and 74x54 in. stroke. Boilers, Two Double-ended, 15 ft. 9 in. by 21 ft 5 in. One Single-ended,' 15 ft. 9 in. by 11 ft. 3 in. FITTED WITH SERVE RIBBED TUBES AND THE ELLIS AND EAVES DRAFT. Coal consumption per I. H. P. per hour on this steamer is 1.4 Ibs. This is 34 Ib. less ie ae | aT aS , than the average lake steamer. Her cargo ; = bs capacity is 10,600 tons. Serve Ribbed Tubes and the Ellis and Eaves Induced Draft are to be installed in at least two lake steamers during the coming winter,--and it can be guaranteed that these steamers will have a fuel consumption as low as 1% Ibs. per |. H. P. per hour. A result of 1% Ibs. has been obtained with the Ellis and Eaves Draft and Plain Tubes in the L. C. Waldo. Owners of steamers contemplating repairs to boilers during the coming winter can learn how they can save the cost of the repairs in one season, by writing to THE GLOBE IRON WORKS COMPANY, CLEVELAND, OHIO.
