There, is, however! one point which I would like to call attention to ayiion seems to have been omitted. I think I made it plain to those present at the address that stéel forgings are so much stronger and so much more reliable than wrought i iron forgings that their size. and there- fore their weight, can be materially reduced. Inasmuch as the forg- . ings in a marine engine constitute a large percentage of its weight when we include the shafts, if the size and weight of these forgings can be materially reduced the carrying capacity of the vessel would be considerably increased, and although the price per pound of high grade steel forgings is somewhat higher than that of wrought iron forgings, still by reducing the size of the steel forgings, their total weight and price would be reduced so that their cost would not be in excess of the cost of iron forgings. to make this addition in your coming issue, and thanking you for your courtesy in this matter, I beg to remain, : H. F. J. Porter, General Westarh Sales Agent, Bethlehem Tron Co. 1433 Marquette Bldg., Chicago, Jan. 19, 1897. Thos.
