Brittania Marine Engine.

This cut shows one of the most up-to-date engines built for cruising work. It is of very neat and compact design and the highest grade of British workmanship, and is fitted with all the latest improvements. The control board at rear centres all levers and adjustments within easy reach of pilot seat, so that a forty-foot cruiser can be easily operated by one man. The engine photographed is from Lane & Sons launch works,

King's* Drive, Auckland. The makers claim that it has a range of speed almost equal to steam, and great ease of operation. The engine may be slowed down to a barely perceptible motion, remaining so for an indefinite time, or it may be opened up to 800 or 1,000 revolutions per minute.
