INSPECTION OF MACHINERY: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR 1901-2.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

The Chief Inspector of Machinery to the Hon. the Minister of Marine. Sir, — Inspection of Machinery Department, Wellington, 20th May, 1902. I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report on the operations of the Inspection of Machinery Department for the twelve months which ended on the 31st March, 1902. I have, &c, Eobert Duncan, The Hon. W. Hall-Jones, Minister of Marine. Chief Inspector of Machinery.

EEPOET. Land Machinery. This includes the examination of all land steam-boilers and the machinery driven by steam by these boilers; also the machinery driven by all power other than steam, excepting the machinery driven by hand-power. All parts of the colony have been visited by the Inspectors of the Department, and a thorough inspection made of all machinery there. Boilers. During the year 4,379 steam-boilers were examined, the boilers beiug empty and all parts made accessible for the inspection ; and in numerous cases a second visit was made when under steam, to examine all parts under steam conditions. The work connected with this branch of the Department is unpleasant, but one of the most important. Numbers of the boilers in the colony are getting old, and have to be reduced in pressure and very carefully examined. No accident to life or limb has been reported in connection with boilers during this year. It should be apparent to the general public the desirableness and usefulness of having practical examinations—for the safety of themselves, of employers and employees, and of property—by experienced men from time to time. The tendency of late years has been to increase the pressure in all new boilers where old ones have been discarded, and the danger that may be incurred through explosion has therefore increased owing to the higher pressure. This applies more especially to water-tube and locomotive type of boilers, where the water in the boilers and over the heating-surfaces is limited, and where, if anything was going wrong with feeding arrangements, overheating would of necessity follow, with plate-bulging and explosion. Pressures in these boilers have increased quite 25 per cent, of late years. The introduction of qualified engine-drivers to take charge of steam plants has given satisfaction all round, and should tend to minimise the risk of explosion, and also help to reduce the expenditure in upkeep and attention. It is as much to the advantage of the employer in a small way of business as it is to the company or firm owning large plants to have his enginedrivers thoroughly competent and able to cope with the efficient maintenance of his boilers and machinery, the value of which can only be kept up by such efficient maintenance. Yet, it seems, the view is entertained in some quarters that it is better to have those in charge of machinery who cannot but be (to those qualified to judge) less than efficient, in preference to those who, other things being equal, have at least higher claims to efficiency. The apparent cause of this seems to lie in a false economy, founded on the assumption that the less training a man undergoes the cheaper he will be, a fallacy that obviously need not be discussed.

I—H. 15a.

The boiler certificates issued during the year show an increase of 744 over the number issued last year. Government Boilers and Machinery. Beyond the annual inspection of Government boilers, for which no fee is charged by the Department, a number of plans and specifications for new boilers, pumping appliances, and machinery appliances for asylums have been attended to, and the machinery connected with the Defence Department has received attention. Defects in Boilers and Fittings. A great number of defects were discovered during the year, the total being 475. In some cases boilers have been seriously impaired through using feed-water, in time of drought, from a supply that had become impure. Steam-users should in these cases be most particular, more especially if there happens to be any saline matter in solution. Boilers fed with this water quickly scale, and overheating of the plates, leaky tubes and joints follow as a natural consequence. New Boilers. A large number of new boilers has been added to our books, principally used for golddredging and dairying purposes. The total number added amounts to 427, representing a total horse-power of 6,291. Of this number, 255 were imported, and 172 made in the colony. It is gratifying to be able to compliment the builders of boilers in New Zealand on the very excellent workmanship they now turn out. Before manufacture a plan of each boiler is submitted to the local Inspector of Machinery for his remarks and information, and the construction is carefully watched by him during manufacture, and.then tested by hydraulic pressure on completion, in his presence', by standard gauge. The days of punched holes and rough riveting is a thing of the past for this class of work, and there is no need for any one wanting a boiler to go outside the colony for its manufacture. Numbers of the engineering establishments have hydraulic appliances for riveting, and the very heaviest work can now be undertaken. Lifts and Water-driven Machinery. One hundred and twenty-seven hydraulic lifts, thirty-nine lifts driven by gas, steam, and electricity, sixty-seven gas and hydraulic hoists and electric motors, 227 water-driven machinery, 461 gas-engines", seventy-two oil-engines, and thirty-one steam machinery were inspected during the year, making a total of i,024, or 422 in excess of the number inspected last year. The repairs were fairly evenly distributed over the colony for this class of motive power, and amongst general repairs the renewing of ropes in hydraulic lifts, the annealing of chains, and general overhaul of safety-catch gears in cages formed the most important. Fencing of Machinery. In the appended table No. 4 is set out some examples of the notices which have been given to fence all classes of machinery throughout the colony. I find that owners of machinery are exceedingly pleased to have the advice of practical Inspectors in this matter, so that the dangers arising to employees may be lessened. It is difficult to protect all parts of machinery in factories without impairing the efficiency of the machine, but where moving machinery appears to be a menace to an employee's safety in any part of a factory used as a thoroughfare all parts are ordered to be specially well guarded. The majority of accidents, where, say, a hand or a finger is crushed, mostly arise from the employee becoming careless through constant practice and use of the machine rather than from the want of protection. All employers, however, should instruct employees not to wear loose clothing or aprons, and, in the case of girls, the hair should be worn in a net and not loosely. Several accidents have occurred in New Zealand clearly demonstrating the above, and employees cannot be too careful, especially where speeds are high. Uncertificated Steam-users. It has been necessary to maintain prosecutions against several owners of boilers and machinery for working same without th« necessary certificates; but it has now become so generally known that these certificates must be taken up that the prosecutions are decreasing in number, though the steam-users do not take the full advantage they should do of lifting their certificates within the month given them, by which they obtain a very considerable concession. The failure to do this gives a great deal of extra trouble to the Department. Examination of Engine-drivers and Extra First-class Engineers. The work connected with this branch of the Department is constantly increasing, and, as examinations have to be held all over the colony, much loss of time that used to be employed at practical inspection-work occurs. There have been four fixed examinations held at each of the centres —viz., Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill— each of which has extended over several days. There have also been examinations held at Alexandra South (2), Blenheim (1), Cromwell (2), Clyde (3), Dannevirke (3), Feilding (1), Gore (2), Greymouth (2), Gisborne (2), Hastings (1), Hawera (1), Hokitika (2), Lawrence (2), Marton (1), Masterton (2). Napier (4), Nelson (2), New Plymouth (2), Oamaru (1), Palmerston North (2), Queenstown (1), Eeefton (2), Eoxburgh (2), Stratford (1), Timaru (1), Thames (2), Wanganui (2), Westport (2). In each case the examination has occupied some days, and there has been the time spent in going to and from many of the places specially.

Where a number of applications have been received from any district, examinations have been held at a central place to suit the candidates. In the centres, where a sufficient number of applications have been received, intermediate examinations have been held. A great number of candidates have passed a capital examination, and it is gratifying to find an improvement in the theoretical as well as the practical part of their calling. There is no situation in life in which knowledge derived from books and similar sources may not be made subservient to our interests or conducive to our enjoyments, and if only a beginning is made by a candidate for these examinations he may acquire a taste for self-improvement that will be of value both to himself and to the community in which he lives. The extra first-class engineer's certificate has not as yet tempted many, but this can be accounted for partly by the stiffness of the examination ; but it had to be made a difficult examination to give the certificate a standing. Six passed for extra first-class engineer, 119 passed for first-class engine-driver, and 386 passed for second-class engine-driver. In service certificates, 685 first-class engine-drivers and 386 second-class engine-drivers were granted. The time within which application may be made for the granting of service certificates has been extended, by the Inspection of Machinery Act of last session, to the Ist day of January, 1903. The clerical work attached to the granting of these, and the passing of applicants' papers, both for service and competency, and the issue of certificates afterwards, still makes a large increase to our office-work. Accidents. I regret to have to report several accidents with machinery, some of which proved fatal, a description of which will be found in Tables Nos. 5 and 6. It is difficult to prevent all accidents ; but, taking the amount of machinery in use, the high speeds very often used, and the number of those employed, the number of these accidents is very small. Districts and Inspectors. Mr. Blackwood resigned from the Service in the Auckland District. Mr. George McGregor, appointed on 28th June, 1901, filled the vacancy. Mr. Matthew Sharp was appointed on Ist February, 1902, and will bo stationed in Otago. I have pleasure in testifying to the good and faithful work done all round by the Inspectors, often under arduous conditions in the country, with bad roads and journeys to places almost inaccessible. The expense sometimes incurred does not warrant the inspection ; but very often, in these remote places, there is more need for the inspection, as the machinery is often found in bad condition through want of the needful repair, which has not been made owing to the plant being so far away from any engineer's shop. At the present time the Auckland, Marlborough, and Nelson North and South Districts are the furthest in arrear, and our present staff is quite inadequate to deal with the ever-increasing work. It is against the law to work any steam-boiler without a certificate, and I consider it imperative that other two Inspectors should be appointed if the work is to •be satisfactorily done. The permanent stationing of an Inspector at Invercargill has been found a great convenience to the public and a saving to the Department, and, it being the centre of a rising agricultural district, machinery is very much used in connection with harvesting and dairying operations, and steam appliances are also being extensively used. Offices should, in my opinion, be opened, say, at Timaru and Nelson in the near future, to save the long journeys which now have to be made from the present district centres; and it would also be a great convenience to the shipping community and to applicants for examinations to have an officer on the spot. Postal and Police Authoeities. The postal and police authorities have again rendered very valuable assistance, the former promptly returning schedules of fees showing whether owners had paid or.not, thus enabling us to deal at once with defaulters; and the latter for their work connected with the non-lifting of boiler certificates, and prosecutions arising therefrom and of persons driving engines or in charge of boilers without holding the proper certificates. Marine Engineers' Examinations. . During the year examinations for certificates of competency for chief marine engineers, secondand third-class marine engineers, river engineers, and marine-engine drivers, also for first- and second-class sea-going and for extended-river-limits engineers of powered vessels other than steam, have been held at Auckland, Gisborne, Napier, New Plymouth, Nelson, Westport, Grey mouth, Blenheim, Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin, and Invercargill. In each of the centres three examinations were held during the year. Table No. 16 gives a list of 188 applicants for examination during the year ending the 31st March, 1902, with the different classes of certificates for which they applied to be examined—-viz., seven first-class engineers, nineteen second-class engineers, ninety-six third-class engineers, thirtyfive river engineers, twenty-one marine-engine drivers, four first-class engineers for powered vessels other than steam, three second-class engineers for powered vessels other than steam ; three engineers for powered vessels other than steam within restricted limits. The fees received in respect of such applications amounted to £188. The regulations for marine engineers' examination, to be issued shortly, have been revised, and now embrace all the new points of the new edition of the Board of Trade rules. The most notable departure is that the time served on watch as third engineer with a second-class certificate

is qualifying-time for chief. The Board of Trade have raised shop service one year, which follows our lead in New Zealand, but does not go quite far enough. A number of new elementary questions are introduced, dealing with hydraulic, freezing, and electrical machinery, which is very necessary for present-day requirements, seeing that so many modern steamers are fitted with all these latest appliances. Survey op Steamers. All the work in connection with this branch of the Department has been kept up to date, and the supervision of repairs after survey has been subjected to the closest attention at the various ports. The Surveyors have also inspected vessels on several occasions between annual survey dates, at docking-times, to have a look at the hulls, and to see that the boats and equipments have been kept up to standard. Government Steamees. Plans and specifications for structural additions and renewals have been made for the C.G. steamers " Hinemoa," " Ellen Ballance," and " Tutanekai," and for minor repairs to several other Government vessels. The alterations to the "Hinemoa" comprise a complete new deck, new steel bulkhead at fore end of the saloon, new chart-house and bridge, new steering-gear steel house aft, electric-light installation, and general overhaul of machinery and rudder. The annual surveys of the steamers " Tutanekai," " Hinemoa," " Ellen Ballance," " Gordon," and the torpedo-boats have also been made. Auxiliary Machinery. Steamer surveys now take much longer, owing to the increase in the auxiliary machinery, and the appliances for saving fuel and economizing perishable stores. The responsibilities of the chief engineer of a steamer have also increased, both in the cargo and in the passenger lines, through the introduction of these scientific appliances, and it rests largely with him whether or not the ship will turn out a commercial success. Mishaps. The usual mishaps have occurred to steamers, such as broken shafts, defective steam-pipes, &c. The set periodical times for shaft-sighting and steam-pipe-testing are rigidly enforced, and owners now see the necessity for it. Although the loss of time in docking for shaft-inspection may seem a monetary loss, it is better to have the flaw discovered in dock than to have the steamer disabled by it at sea. The s.s. " Monowai," of the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand, was drifting about for several days between Tasmania and New Zealand, the propeller-boss having given way. It is thought that the propeller had struck some floating wreckage, as the vessel was docked at Melbourne a short time before the mishap occurred, and at that time the propeller was carefully examined. Increase and Improvements in Steamers. The steam shipping has increased during the year, every new steamer having an additional improvement for the comfort of the traveller, some of the late additions to the fleet of the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand being very complete in this respect. Survey of Steamers Eeturn. Table No. 17 gives returns of steamers surveyed in New Zealand during the year ended 31st March, 1902, including the names of steamers, tons register, horse-power, nature of machinery and propeller. The number of steamers surveyed was 279, and the number of surveys made was 288. The fees payable in respect of such surveys amounted to £1,494. Eeturns.
