THE ELECTRIC ENGINE ROOM Modern Power Plant for the Modern Ship The engine room of an electric ship is an ideal workroom from the standpoint of the operating engineer. Control apparatus and indicating instruments are compactly grouped on a central switchboard, making it possible for him to visualize almost instantly the operating conditions of the entire plant. Electric propulsion has greatly simplified his work in the speed with which the operations can be performed and the freedom with which the equipment can be handled. It also lends itself most readily to the electri- wy fication of all auxiliaries. @ Electric drive gives speed, effi- ciently and without vibration. It is the most modern method of ship propulsion, offering the utmost comfort, at the same time providing economy and reliability of operation. @ General Electric marine engineers at the offices of the Company in Schenectady, N. Y., have had wide expe- rience in the equipping of all-electric ships, and _ this experience is at your service. If you are considering a modernization program, whether your equipment calls for turbine-electric, turbine-gear, or Diesel-electric drive, they can help you gain the commercial advantages of modern propulsion.
