DESCRIPTION Four engines of this size and type each di- rectly connected to generators are in- stalled on the pipe line dredge, New Jersey. The engines are of the builder’s two cycle, crosshead type. They are built nonreversing with con- stant speed governors. Pressure lubrication is provided for bearings and timed forced feed lubricators supply oil for the cylinders.

Direct connected to diesel engines described Remarks This vessel, built of steel of heavy scantlings, a 30-inch pipe line dredge, is the largest diesel dredge so far built. She was built at the Mani- towoc Shipbuilding Corp. for the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co. Power for all machinery, cutter, hoist, main pump etc. is furnished by the four diesel generating units.
