Reference to the economies of motor-pro pulsion was made at the annual meeting o. Furness, Withy, and Co. by the chairman. Sir Frederick Lewis, who said part of the tonnage under (onstructiou lor the company is engined by Diesel engines and part by steam engines. “Thig does not mean that we have been dissatisfied with on) experiments with Diesel engines, but the fact is that, taking everything into consideration, the steam engine is still the most economical in certain trades, particularly in short voyages and deadweight trades, and in trades where oil is expensive. Wo have among our fleet five different types of Diesel engines, and, notwithstanding the fact .that it is now some 13 years ago that wo constructed our first vessel with Britishbuilt Diesel engines, wo arc still more or less in the experimental stage. One of the most important factors standing in the way of the further development and use of the Diesel engine for marine purposes is the very high first capital coat. Apart from Ibis problem, whioh no doubt will bo solved in due course and also the question of the cost and supply of oil, our experience leads us to the conclusion that the efficiency of the Diesel engine ia firmly established.”
