The Carels-Diesel Engine The Two-Cycle Diesel Engine as Developed by Messrs. Carels--Its Advantages Enumerated _ Although there are at present so many builders of Diesel engines, the actual number of types constructed is relatively small, and among these the Carels design will always have a prominent place--more than could possibly be the case were the Car- els-Diesel .engine built only by the Ghent firm themselves. This is due to the fact that licenses for construc- tion have been granted to many en- gine builders in all parts of Europe, among whom are such well known firms as . Vickers, of Barrow; Rich- ardsons, Westgarth & Co., of Mid- dlesbrough; the Clyde & Engineering .Co;; Port Glasgow; Shipbuilding © Messrs. Stephen & Sons, Glasgow. In. Germany, the Reiherstieg Schiff- werfte und Maschinenfabrik, of Ham- "burg, and. J. C. Teckelenborg, A. G., of Bremerhaven, work in connection with Messrs. Carels, as do Schneider et Cie, of Le Creusot, in France. : It is not difficult to anticipate that these important firms will in the future years of the rapid development of the Diesel engine produce such a number of motors as will serve as a great monument of the enterprise of the Belgian firms. The two-cycle Diesel marine en- gine, as developed and at present constructed by Messrs. Carels, differs considerably from all other types. Qur illustration shows a four-cylin- der motor designed for 800 B. H. P. to POO ..B. HH. P and of 'this type at least four have been already con- structed for marine work. The bed- plate is in halves, and the cylinders are supported separately by columns, which are flanged and bolted together to form a rigid frame in the. manner shown, the feet cast on to the cyl- inders being bolted direct to broad flanges on top of the columns. The columns on the port side of the ship carry the crosshead guides, which are flat, and it may, incidentally, be men- tioned that apart from the reversing F.NciInk Room PLANS OF THE CARELS-DirseL ENGINE SIMILAR TO THE ENGInes INSTALLED IN Str 'AMER EAVESTONE
