CLASS ACCOMMODAT. 63 MEN PLANS OF NEW JAPANESE DIESEL PASSENGER VESSEL type of engine is designed to develop 2300 indicated horsepower at 150 revolu- tions per minute, and with this horse- power a speed of about 15 knots is at- tained, but due to the owners desire of keeping a sea speed of only 1334 knots cn the 18-hour trip from Kobe to Beppu, the revolutions were reduced and conse- quently the indicated horsepower. Small- er engines requiring still smaller. engine room would have been satisfactory and thus accommodation for a still larger rumber of passengers could have been procured, if desired. Three single cylinder diesel engines of the Burmeister & Wain enclosed and forced lubricated auxiliary generator type are installed. These diesel generators are of 33 kilowatts capacity. In conform- ity with usual practice, the cooling water, forced-lubricating, fuel-oil, ballast, sep- arate bilge, and sanitary pumps are all electrically driven.
