The track indicator, which was fitted in the saloon of the Huddart-Parker steamer Victoria recently, bas been sent ashore in Melbourne io order that certain improvements suggested by the engineers of the tteamer may be embodied in it. So far as it has bsen tried the new invention worked very well, although, as it was actuated by the shaft, it could not be expected to work quite accurately when the propellor raced. It is with a view to counteracting this drawback that the improvements are being i<ade.
