186 the cut. The strainer can be removed by forcing the end containing the pawl out of the bracket, there being no per- manent pipe connections. For main bearing lubrication the crank shaft is drilled through its entire length FIG. 4-- AUTOMATIC GOVERNOR OF THE FLY BALL TYPE, HAVING OUTSIDE ADJUSTMENT and a small self-priming rotary pump forces oil to all crank shaft bearings and wrist pins. A greater quantity of oil than is needed for lubrication is supplied, but there is no waste, as the oil flows back to the crank chamber, where it is filtered and used over and over again. This method not only gives ample lubrication, but has a decided cooling effect on the bearings. The system is provided with an overflow valve, and the pressure is normally held at 15 pounds per square inch, and a gage, so located as to be i eee Pee ee mye meme tee -- -- eK KL --7 pee OEY.)

A force feed oiler is provided for the cylinders, there being two feeds for the working cylinders and one feed for the air compressor. This insures con- stant and even lubrication. As the en- tire oiling system is automatic in start- ing and stopping the chance of forget- ting to open or close a device is elimin- ated. THE MARINE REVIEW The control arrangement consists of a handle and hand wheel supplemented by interlocking push buttons and pro- vides the operator with every necessary means for starting and stopping. The starting handle has three positions, viz., "air start", "running" and "barring".

FIG. 6-SHOWING CONSTRUCTION OF THE OIL STRAINER FOR THE CRANK CASE. THE PERFORATOR COVER IS MADE IN TWO PIECES, TO FACILITATE CLEANING The interlock is so arranged that with the handle in "air start" position, fuel and starting air cannot reach a cylinder simultaneously. The fuel on the "air start" cylinders must be by-passed before placing the handle on "air start" position. When "barring", all fuel must be by-passed, so that fuel oil cannot flood the cylinders. The hand wheel serves to put more or less load on the governor by increasing or decreasing the tension of the spring, thereby regulating the engine speed. Pumps are provided for cooling water, lubrication, bilge and fuel supply. These are located on the front end of. the crank case and have a common drive. The center shaft is arranged to receive a crank and all the pumps may be readily primed without danger to the operator, as the crank is automatically detached with the starting of the en--- gine. The pumps are made interchangeable, . so that one may be substituted for an= other, 7. e., the bilge pump can be con- nected to the cooling system, or the fuel supply may be attached to the lubricat- ing system. As the holding screws of the pumps are all accessible from the outside the pumps may be removed with- out the necessity of working inside the crank case. Fig. 7 shows a typical card taken from the engine in test. The compression was 520 pounds per square inch. The mean effective pressure was from 90 pounds to 100 pounds, depending on the load. Combustion was perfect, the exhaust absolutely colorless. The engine was tested coupled to a water brake, and developed 50 brake- horsepower. Pennsylvania fuel oil was used, the consumption being slightly less than % pound per horsepower per hour. When the engine is run on over- load the only noticeable difference is the amount of cooling water required. The engine is now installed in the maker's factory at Erie, Pa., to furnish power for running the plant. and the business will be - continued under the name of Norton, Lilly & Co., of which the only partners are Skeffington S.. Norton;. John B. O'Reilly, Joseph: T.. Lilly and John J. Farrell. The annual meeting of the officials and captains of the Shenango Steam- ship Co. was held in the Rockefeller building, Cleveland, on April 7. Har- vey D. Goulder addressed the captains on safety and efficiency. The new 15-cu. yd. dipper dredge Gamboa, contract for -which was awarded in January, 1913, to the Bu- cyrus Co., Milwaukee, arrived at Colon March 18, and has been put to work in the Culebra cut.

The company expects to start in a small way, perhaps with a single pontoon, adding, however, as the busi- ness grows. The pontoons will be constructed after the pattern of a dry dock, but having a self-contained ma- chine shop.
