Excerpt from Steam Engineering on Sugar Plantations, Steamships, and Locomotive Engines A steamship engineer has to work him self up' from an inferior position, although he may be a good engineer and machinist on land, and, as he sets out on his first voyage, it is a great advantage to have an idea of the work to be done at sea.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1867 edition. Excerpt: ... PAKT II. STEAMSHIPS. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. An engineer at sea has some duties to perform that are not required of engineers on land, and some peculiarities about his engines and boilers, and the working of them, that do not occur to engineers for machinery on land. The engines of a steamship are influenced in their motions by the weather. The boilers are fed with salt water, in some ships, and in others the boilers are fed by the water from the condensed steam; but these steamship boilers require some salt water to keep up the waste. Steamship engines are low pressure, or condensing engines. All these things must be considered by the engineer. There are a great many different kinds of engines in steamships; but the principle is the same. The power is got by the pressure of the steam on the piston of the cylinder, and the forming of the vacuum on the opposite side of the piston. It matters not whether the engines are horizontal or upright engines, beam engines or oscillating engines, or engines with long stroke, or engines with short stroke. There is no power got but by the force of the steam, and the vacuum. If an engine has a short stroke, it will make a greater number of them, and use the steam; and in using the steam, the force has been used. An engine with a long stroke makes a less number of strokes, and does not use any more steam than the short stroke engine, and, therefore, does not exert any more force. If the pistons are the same size, and travel with the same speed, there may be a little loss by turning the centres often in a short stroke engine, but it does not amount to much. The plan of an engine, and the length of the stroke, are regulated to suit convenience, and sometimes to suit the fancy. The engines of a propeller...
