INSPECTION OF MACHINERY: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR 1902-3.

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

The Hon. the Minister, of Marine to His Excellency the Governor. Inspection of Machinery Department, My Lord, — Wellington, 31st July, 1903. I do myself the honour to transmit herewith, for Your Excellency's information, the report of the Inspection of Machinery Department of the colony for the financial year ended the 31st March last. I have, &c, His Excellency the Wμ. Hall-Jones, Right Hon. the Earl of Ranfurly, Minister of Marine. Governor of New Zealand.

The Chief Inspector of Machinery to the Hon. the Minister of Maeine. Inspection of Machinery Department, g IE> Queen's Chambers, Wellington, 20th May, 1903. 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 the 31st March, 1903 : — Boilees. During the financial year 4,463 steam-boilers were inspected, and all the machinery driven by these boilers was examined at the same time. This shows a slight increase on former years, but numbers do not always represent the increase of work, as much longer journeys have now Co be made in the back portions of the various districts. This branch of the Department is, with the exception of some parts of the Auckland District, practically up to date, and I can bear testimony to the zeal displayed by all the officers in the performance of their arduous and varied duties. Accident to Life and Limb connected with Boilers. No accident occurred in New Zealand during the year whereby injury was caused to life or limb through a boiler explosion. This Department can congratulate itself on the result of another year free from accidents. Owing to the high pressures now in use, the greatest possible care has been taken, and strict instructions are given to each Inspector to particularly satisfy himself in all cases. In some cases where brick flues are used the work is not of a very pleasant nature, but dampness in brickwork oftentimes leads to serious deterioration of the plate resting on the damp portion of the brickwork. The only questions taken into consideration when granting a certificate for a boiler are, whether the boiler is safe for the intended working-pressure (no matter whether it is a high or a low one), and also whether the conditions under which the boiler is being worked are safe, more especially as regards the feed-water, as, if the latter is not attended to, serious defects may arise through pitting of the plates, and scale-formation on them. Defects also often occur through getting up steam too quickly from cold water, since some parts of the boiler are more readily heated than others, and unless great care is exercised, and sufficient time taken, unequal heating is bound to take place. It is equally injurious to blow off all the steam suddenly, empty the boilers, and open the dampers. The cooling influence operates much more rapidly upon the boiler itself than upon the brickwork seating. The better plan is not to blow off the steam, but to let the steam and water cool down, and then empty the boiler. The certificates for boilers issued during the year total 4,463, being an increase of eighty-four on the number issued last year. I—H. 15a.

Government Boilers and Machinery. All the boilers at Government institutions throughout the colony have been examined, and the new boiler installation designed by this Department for the Seacliff Asylum has now been in use for some time, and has been giving satisfactory results. Defects in Boilers and Fittings. These defects amounted to 388, and include defects in steam-gauges, water-gauges, blow-off connections, cracked and bulged plates, defective joints, leaky seams, &c. Some were serious, and if neglected would no doubt have caused trouble and accident. Owners, more especially in remote districts, are glad to have advice on these matters when the Inspector comes round, and all information is willingly given, and advice as to the best and least expensive way to remedy the. defect. New Boilers. The total number added to our list is 483, and totals 6,746-horse power. Of this number, 217 were made in the colony, and 266 were imported. A very large installation has been put in the power-house of the Auckland Tramway Company, Auckland, the whole of the machinery and boilers being imported. The boilers are of the Babcock and Wilcox pattern, water-tube, and are fitted with all up-to-date appliances. The boiler-work done in the colony is now of a very high order, and most of the engineering firms have adopted the latest appliances to minimise labour and to insure a well-finished article. All the makers of imported boilers have now, with very few exceptions, adopted our standard of strength required for a given pressure, and very little friction has arisen through pressures given. The only safe rule is to adopt the very best, and make it compulsory and uniform both to local manufacturers and to manufacturers from abroad. This system, I consider, has tended to our immunity from accident in the past, and should not be departed from in the future. Lifts, Gas- and Water-driven Machinery. Under this heading 209 hydraulic lifts, sixty-three lifts driven by gas, steam, and electricity, eighty-eight gas and hydraulic hoists and electric motors, 341 water-driven machinery, 584 gasengines, and 133 oil-engines were inspected during the year, making a total of 1,418. A considerable amount of fencing was required to make the motors and machinery driven by them safe for those in attendance, and also a number of new ropes and chains were fitted and repairs effected generally. Fencing of Machinery. A large number of written and verbal notices were issued to machinery owners to fence unguarded machinery, and little difficulty has been found in making all comply with the wishes of the Inspectors. Examination op Engine-dkivees. The examination for this class of certificate has now become a very important and everincreasing branch of the Department. No service certificates are now issued (except under section 45 of the Act of 1902), so that all applicants must come up for examination ; and, New Zealand being such a scattered colony, it has been necessary to hold examinations at numerous places. It is gratifying to know, however, that up to the present there are no arrears in this branch of the service, and that all demands have been met. Candidates generally show up much better in the oral examination, and this examination brings out the fact very clearly that the standard of knowledge connected with the engine and boiler work of the engine-driver is increasing, and that he has been reading up from standard works on the subject. This knowledge should be available to his employer and make the enginedriver something more than a mere machine : it should lend an interest to every branch of his work, and should help him to perform more efficiently his many duties with economy to .his employer and with more satisfaction to himself. There have been four examinations held at Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill, Timaru, and Nelson, extending over several days. Examinations have also been held at Gisborne, Hawera, New Plymouth, Stratford, Palmerston North, Napier, Dannevirke, Blenheim, Westport, Greymouth, Eeefton, Hokitika, Kumara, Lawrence, Roxburgh, Alexandra South, Cromwell, and Clyde. Altogether 685 candidates passed these examinations successfully—seven extra first stationary, 148 first stationary, 357 second stationary, 147 traction and locomotive, and twenty-six winding-engine drivers. Accidents. Forty-nine accidents to life and limb connected with machinery have been reported to me. In Tables Nos. 5 and 6 are set out the names and ages of the persons injured, and cause of accident in each case. Table No. 5 shows the non-fatal accidents, and Table No. 6 shows the fatal accidents_ Districts and Inspectoes. Two new district offices have been opened, one at Nelson and the other at Timaru, and both have been found to be most useful as centres, and have saved the expense of making long journeys from Wellington and Christchurch. Mr. McVicar, of the Canterbury District, was transferred to Nelson ; and Mr. Williamson, who had been stationed for a short time in Canterbury, took charge of the Timaru office. Mr. George Croll, who was the senior Inspector of Canterbury, retired on the 30th July, 1902, after twenty-six and a half years' service. He has borne an excellent character, both for ability and courteousness, combined with firmness, and during his long period of service no boiler explosion has occurred in his district. This speaks for the care and thoroughness of his work and method. His place has been filled by Mr. Carman, from Wellington. Two new appointments have been made, Mr. W. R. Douglas and Mr. N. D. Hood. They are at the present time both assisting in the Wellington District.

Offices should, in the near future, be opened at Wanganui and Napier, to save the long journeys now made from Wellington. Napier is now becoming a fairly busy shipping port, and numerous journeys have to be made to cope with the survey of steamers there, owing to the shipping facilities being limited. Postal and Police Authokities. This Department is much indebted to the Postal and Police authorities, who have rendered valuable assistance with reference to the boiler and machinery certificates. "Inspection of Machinery Act, 1902." By this Act the previous Inspection of Machinery Act of 1882 and the amending Acts of 1894, 1896, 1898. 1900, and 1901 were consolidated, and the principal sections were re-enacted. The provisions affecting boilers and machinery are practically the same, but it would be well for every steam-user to make himself thoroughly cognisant of the clauses of the Act. Maeine Engineers' Examinations. The examinations have been held in alternate centres throughout the year, and at the following places away from headquarters : Gisborne, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Napier, Blenheim, Westport, and Greymouth. Every year shows a marked improvement in the work of candidates who present themselves, and this is notably the case with the third-class applicants, who are again very numerous All the Examiners bear witness to the faithful reading of the young engineers from the workshop in matters pertaining to marine engineering, which is brought out very clearly in the oral examination held at these examinations. It is very gratifying to the Department to have such material to deal with, and, seeing so many of the promising boys take to engineering in the colony, no doubt this industry will be well able to hold its own as the colony gets more advanced. Table No. 17 gives a list of the successful candidates, and the various grades in which they passed, also the total number of applicants, the total fees payable, and the number who failed. During the year new regulations were compiled by me, which are now in conformity with the Board of Trade Regulations as far as they could be made for New Zealand. New additional elementary questions have been added, containing questions on electric-light installations, comprising all the different points about the dynamo, and defects that might arise with the whole installation, as might be found on board ship. Questions have also been added connected with hydraulic installations, feed-heaters, filters, refrigerating machinery, comprising cold air, ammonia, &c. All these subjects show that the education of the modern marine engineer must be a very varied one; and where, say, at freezing-works and electric-light installations on shore, a separate staff is employed, the engineer on a steamer must be master of all these different classes of machinery when placed under his charge in the ship. Every day adds to his duties, and the Admiralties of both Great Britain and America are waking up to the importance of placing the engineers in their navies on a much better footing. Survey of Ships. The work of this branch of the Department has been well kept up, and, with the exception of one or two of the outlying districts in Auckland, the surveys are practically up to date. At the ports of Auckland, Wellington, and Dunedin, special attention has been given to hulls and equipments of steamers, numerous surprise visits having been paid to steamers to examine their boats and equipments, but, as a rule, very little to find fault with has been discovered. This speaks volumes for the care and attention paid to these important matters of a ship's equipments which tend to the safety of the travelling public. Survey for Seaworthiness. Twenty-four special surveys for seaworthiness were made during the year, comprising cases of grounding, collision, &c, a detailed list of which is given in Table 19. In some of these cases where grounding took place on a fairly soft bottom, a diver was employed for the external examination of the hull, but in any case of doubt docking was insisted on, so that a thorough examination could be made. These investigations have been made at all hours, and the judgment displayed by surveyors has been very clearly shown in numbers of cases. The shipowners generally are always glad to have the tried opinion of the officers of our Department in these times of disaster, and they on their part have facilitated our work very much by help generously given on many occasions. The fees earned by such surveys amount to £74 Bs. Government Steamers. The following Government steamers were surveyed during the year—viz., the s.s. " Hinemoa," " Tutanekai," " Janie Seddon," " Lady Roberts," " Nile," " Gordon" (before sale), and the several torpedo boats, &c. Excursion Steamers. Seventy-five steamer excursions were allowed, representing the carriage of 26,017 passengers, and no trouble has arisen at any time throughout the year with any of these trips. These excursions have been scattered all over New Zealand, and are much appreciated by the public.

New Steamers. Thirty-three steamers have been added to our books during the year, and comprise some very fine vessels, notably the " Aparima," and "Moeraki." The first one is a fine specimen of the modern cargo-boat with limited passenger accommodation, and the latter an up-to-date passenger steamer. The names of these vessels are as follows : " Anna," " Aotea," " Aparima," " Balmain," " Claymore," " Emma Sims," " Gosford," "Gypsy," " Huia," " Kapiti," " Kapui," " Karoro," "Kotahi," "Lily," "Little Jack," " Mahuta," " Mascotte," "May Howard," " Meremere," "Moeraki," " Mokau," " Nambucca," "Narcissus," " Nene," " Parera," "Phantom," " Euru," " Tarakihi," " Tasman," " Tuiwiki," " Wave," " Whati," and " Yho."
