So far the German ehipeg. ooinpanies have been slow to avail mselves of turbines, and the three large Atlantia llnSra now building in Hamburg for the Hamburg-America Line are the first merchant vessels' of any importance under the Vermin fisg to ,he propelled by turhinee. In tb* ’ ease of tlie’ 22,C00-ton vessel referred l to. high-speed turbines of small diameter and r.pntidei&bly reduced weight will be used, jnrtsad of the heavier and m<>To expensive

; direct-acting turbines. No reversing turbines will have to be fitted. The engines of the vessel are to he 13,030-h.p., and she will have one high-pressure and one low-press-uro turbine, each running at about 800 revolutions. By means of-two Fcttinger. transformers, the revolutions will bo reduced to 160 on the propellor shaft, so that large propellers ot high efficiency can be used. The transformer will else do the reversing. The result is a very lurge saving in weight—over 600 tons spaco and . first cost. Bo far the Fottmger .transformer has been employed only on a, tug belonging to the Vulcan _ Company, in conjunction with a Curtis turbine, and on tho gas-driven vessel Holzapfel I. In both cases it has done its work successfully. TELS3EAPH NOTICE BOARD. AUCKLAND, April 9.
