1904. NEW ZEALAND.

INSPECTION OF MACHINERY: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR 1903-4.

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

The Hon. the Acting Minister of Marine to His Excellency the Governor. Inspection of Machinery Department, My Lord, — Wellington, Ist July, 1904. 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 C. H. Mills, Right Hon. Lord Plunket, X.C.V.0., Acting Minister of Marine. Governor of New Zealand.

The Chief Inspector op Machinery to the Hon. the Acting Minister of Marine. Inspection of Machinery Department, g IE) Queen's Chambers, Wellington, 19th May, 1904. 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, 1904 : — The work of the Department is practically up to date, with the exception of the inspection of a few boilers in the outlying parts of the Auckland District. This omission unfortunately occurred through one of the Auckland Inspectors being off duty from the 9th November, 1902, till the 28th June, 1903, and the Nelson Inspector being off duty from the 9th October, 1903, till the Bth January, 1904, both owing to illness. Only for this I think there would have been no arrears at the end of the financial year. A considerable correspondence has taken place with manufacturers of machinery outside the colony regarding the manufacture of boilers intended for use in this colony. On the whole, it has been of a very pleasant nature, and most of the manufacturers have complied with our rules. To have a uniform system of rules for construction is very desirable,, more especially in these days of high pressure and keen competition. It is with pleasure I have again to report that no boiler-explosion has taken place in New Zealand during the year. I think no little credit is due to the staff of the Department for this desirable result. In looking over the returns connected with the reports of the Board of Trade upon the working of the Boiler-explosions Acts in Great Britain, I find that the average number of explosions per annum during the last twenty-one years amounts to sixty-nine, the number of lives lost to twenty-nine, and the number of persons injured to sixty-one. The number of formal investigations held in Great Britain into the circumstances attending boiler-explosions which occurred during the year ending the 30th June, 1903, was ten. The causes of these explosions have been clearly ascertained, and in no case has the explosion been attributable to unavoidable accident. Although there are incomparably more boilers in Great Britain than there are in New Zealand, still I think it is something to satisfy the most fastidious that this Department has done excellent work in safeguarding the interest of both owners and employees in seeing things safe for them in connection with the use of steam-power throughout the colony. The number of boiler-inspections this year exceeds by .nearly one thousand the number inspected in any previous year. The actual number is 5,416. The number last year was 4,463. All the machinery in motion in connection with these was also looked over to see that the pulleys, shafting, and gearing attached to machines were safe for the employees. This is particularly safeguarded by the Inspectors, and the advice of the Inspector is often sought when new machinery is being erected. The number of boiler certificates issued during the year totals 5,416, being an increase of 953 on the number issued last year, I—H. 15a,

Government Boilers. The boilers and machinery at the various asylums and other Government institutions have all been inspected during the year. A specification for a new boiler and engine for the Prisons Department, to be used in Wellington, was drawn up by the Department, and the tender for its manufacture was let in Wellington. The plant has since been completed and is working satisfactorily. Defects in Boilers and Fittings. A large number of defects were discovered both in boilers and their fittings. A full description of these is attached in the returns numbered 2 and 3. Many of them may be regarded as being very dangerous, and no doubt would have caused serious accidents if allowed to continue without repairs and alterations. New Boilers. The total number of new boilers added to our books during the year is 555, with a total of 7,495-horse power. Of this number 319 were imported, and the remaining 236 were made in the colony. Amongst the largest installations are boilers at the power-stations at Dunedin and Wellington. The former are of the water-tube pattern, the latter of the Lancashire type. Lifts, Gas- and Water-driven Machinery. Two hundred and four hydraulic lifts, 81 driven by gas, steam, and electricity, 134 gas and hydraulic hoists and motors, 290 water-driven machinery, 779 gas-engines, 274 oil-engines, making a total of 1,762, were inspected during the year, being an increase of 378 over last year. A large amount of guarding was done in connection with the new machinery to make it safe. Fencing of Machinery. The usual amount of work connected with this has been done, and a return of the notices given, both verbal and written, is appended in the return numbered 4. Examination of Engine-drivers. The examinations have been conducted all over New Zealand, and have been held at the most central places to suit candidates. These examinations have grown in numbers to such an extent as to take up pretty well the whole time of two Inspectors, and add greatly to the clerical work of the office. The number this year far exceeds those of the previous year. The desire of those who have possessed the second-class certificates for the required time to qualify for the higher examination, and who have come up since, is very commendable, showing as it does the desire of selfimprovement. The examinations have been held at the following places during the year: Alexandra South, Auckland,* Blenheim, Christchurch,* Cromwell, Dannevirke, Dunedin,* Poxton, Gisborne, Greymouth,* Hokitika, Invercargill,* Lawrence, Motueka, Napier, Nelson,* Otaki, Pahiatua, Palmerston North,* Petone, Picton, Beefton, Boxburgh, Stratford, Takaka, Timaru,* Wairoa, Wanganui,* Wellington,* and Westport.* Accidents. I regret to record several accidents to persons connected with machinery. A detailed account of these is set out in Tables Nos. 5 and 6. Districts and Inspectors. A new district office was opened at Wanganui, which has proved a saving of much time and expense, and of great service to the Taranaki and Wanganui Districts. Mr. S. Dalrymple was promoted from the Auckland District to take charge of the Wanganui office, and Mr. W. R. Douglas from the Wellington District to Auckland. Mr. George McGregor, who had been an Inspector of Machinery for two years and three months, retired from the Service for a better appointment on the 10th October, 1903 ; Mr. Alexander McVicar, who had been an Inspector of Machinery for nearly seven years, retired on the 20th February, 1904, to better his position ; and Mr. Henry Alexander McGregor, after twenty-nine years' service, retired on the 31st March, 1904, with three months' leave of absence. Mr. McGregor during the whole of this long period performed his various duties in a highly satisfactory manner, and gained the esteem of all those with whom he came in contact. Mr. P. Grant was appointed a temporary Inspector of Machinery on the 26th May, 1903, for six months, to assist in the Wellington District, and in the following November he was appointed permanently. Mr. C. W. R. Suisted was appointed an Inspector of Machinery, to assist in the Wellington District, on the 4th January, 1904. Owing to the ever-increasing work at the Port of Napier and the large amount of machinery to be inspected on land in the Napier District, I think a district office should be opened there in the near future. Numbers of inquiries have been made for examinations for engine-drivers to be held in this district, but it has been quite an impossibility to meet all. If an Inspector were permanently placed in the district, he could meet these applicants at once. Any expense incurred in connection with the office would be more than met in the saving of time and expenses in travelling from Wellington every time an Inspector is wanted in Napier District.

Postal and Police Authorities. The Department has been greatly indebted to both the Postal and Police Departments for their great assistance in connection with the collecting of boiler and machinery fees during the year, and for bringing defaulters into line. Only for this prompt action numerous fees would now be overdue. The police have also greatly assisted in the Court cases connected with owners who have been proceeded against for employing non-certificated engine-drivers to drive their machinery, and also in cases where the engine-driver has been prosecuted for driving without having the necessary certificate. " The Inspection of Machinery Act Amendment Act, 1903." This was only a short amending Act to get over a technical omission in the consolidating Act of 1902; also to make the competency and service engine-drivers' certificates that are issued by the Department of equal value, and to give the Department power to deal with non-certificated engine-drivers of winding, traction, and locomotive engines who should hold certificates, and are taking charge of these engines illegally. Marine Engineers' Examinations. These examinations have been held at the Ports of Auckland,* Wellington,* Christchurch,* Dunedin,* Gisborne,* Napier,* Wanganui,* Nelson,* Timaru,* Invercargill.* Picton, Greymouth, Westport, Hokitika, and at Palmerston North, during the year. Return No. 16 gives the names 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. As usual, the applicants for examination for third-class engineers' certificates have been more numerous than in any other grade. The first- and second-class applicants have this year fallen off slightly, owing to the new regulations for examination of engineers defining the minimum horsepower of engines of steamers on which a candidate can qualify. The minimum nominal horsepower for first class is ninety-nine, and the minimum nominal horse-power for second-class is sixty-six. More than 50 per cent, of New Zealand steamers have engines of less than ninety-nine nominal horse-power, so that the opportunities for an engineer qualifying for the higher certificate are much reduced. Survey of Ships. This section of our work is practically up to date throughout the colony, nearly all the steamers having been surveyed during the year. Quite a number of sailing-ships have also been dealt with, and considerable repairs carried out to them. Considerable attention has been paid by the Surveyors at the different ports to the fitting-up of ships' boats and rafts, so as to carry, without damage, provisions and water. In the case of rafts, the tanks containing water and biscuits have covers on each tank at both ends, so that, whichever side of the raft is uppermost, access can be had to the contents. This should add to the comfort of those who in future may have the misfortune to have to take to the boats or rafts after shipwreck. The usual amount of repairs to steamers has been carried out, and no defect has been discovered during the year attributable to a faulty survey. These periodical surveys are carried out in a most careful manner, every part of the ship, both inside and out, being examined, including ballast-tanks, bulkheads, boilers, engines and all equipments. In some of the large boats the survey often takes a Surveyor a week, but it is much better to find out a defect in port than to repair damage on the high seas. Survey of Ships for Seaworthiness. This special and responsible work has taken up a good deal of time, especially at the Port of Wellington. The causes of such surveys have been of the usual kind, such as defects in machinery, including main steam-pipes, and grounding with supposed damage to hull-plating. In some cases docking had to be insisted upon, when in the opinion of the Surveyor considerable damage had been done to the hull. Nelson Harbour accounted for several mishaps to steam-vessels, through grounding in the fairway at the narrow entrance to the harbour. The fees earned by these surveys amount to £80 17s. Government Steamers. The following Government steamers were surveyed during the year: S.s. " Tutanekai," s.s. "Janie Seddon," s.s. "Gordon," and the auxiliary oil-engine schooner "Countess of Ranfurly." New Steamers. Twenty-nine new steamers and vessels with oil-engines have been added to our books during the year. The names of these vessels are " Young Bungaree," " Enterprise," " Variance," " Rarawa," " Mangapapa," " Tainui," " Whakarire," "Scout," " Rubi Seddon," "Southern Cross," " Aida," " Akitio," " Ongarue," " Tv Atu," " Atapo," " Kawau," "Condor," "Pilot," "Purau," "Tawera," " Rotoiti," "Fire Fly," "Fire Float," " Piako," "Waitohi," "Duke," " Flirt," " Mahinapua," and " Kiwi." A steel steamer to carry 400 tons is being constructed at the present time in Auckland by one of the engineering firms there, and is probably the largest steel steamer ever built in the colony. On my last visit to Auckland I inspected the work in progress, and found that a faithful and workmanlike piece of work was being turned out, which will, I think, when completed, be a credit to the colony. The machinery for the steamer is being made by a Wellington firm of engineers. It is of the compound type, with cylinders 19 in. and 38 in. diameter with a 24 in. stroke. The steamer is intended for the West Coast trade, and will have a light draught to enable her to work the bar harbours on that coast.
