394 Winton Heavy Duty Marine Engine The Winton Gas Engine & Manu- facturing Co., of Cleveland, intend to put on the market in 1913 a new line of heavy duty marine engines which 'has been designed under the per- sonal supervision of Alexander' Win- ton. The new line is the fruition of several years' experimentation by the Winton organization in endeavoring to develop a heavy duty engine suit- either pleasure yachts or reliability, able for commercial boats where THE MARINE REVIEW vanadium steel, bore. in: diameter.: white brass. Bearings are of the best materials in sufficient quan- tities to insure long life. A dual ig- nition system comprising two water- proof magnetos, two spark plugs to each cylinder, is used. An unusual feature' is the method. of lubrication. Oil is distributed under pressure by a- gear pump, to' the various bearings, after which it passes through a com- bined cooler and filter and is: again circulated: Section at VIEW OF THE NEW: WINTON: SPX- CYLINDER, HEAVY DUTY MARINE ENGINE, 2 1S ais ee re in such an automatic economy, and eiaailiciy of operation are essential. As soon as the com- pany was: satisfied. with the results, work was started on the erection of a factory to be devoted exclusively to' marine power plant manufacture. This plant is now completed and ready for operation and competent authorities declare it to be the most modern of its kind in the country... Everything in it is new and every mechanical facility for the manufac- ture of gasoline engines of large horsepower in quantities has been installed. The engine design of the new Winton product is of marked simplic- ity, the exterior being free of. the piping and gear, generally so promi- nent. Accessibility was considered essential and, while all parts are en- closed, the coverings can be easily removed: The cylinders are cast in pairs and ground to mirror smooth- mess. The cylinder heads are sepa- rate castings in which the water in- take and outlet is integral. The fuel and exhaust manifolds are cast with the cylinders. Strength and dura- bility is apparent in every part. The connecting rods are steel forgings strong enough to withstand double the strain which they are subjected to. The crankshafts are of chrome and over way, not only obviates the necessity of caring for it, but the expense as well. Horsepower ratings are very con- servative, being based on the power developed at. normal: speed: How- ever, the construction is such that 15 to 25 per cent greater speed can be attained with resultant itcreas: in horsepower development without dan- eer. Of. strains | Repuwlation' is. 05- tained by a centrifugal governer oper- ating on the constant mixture volume throttling principle and can be -ad- justed for increased or decreased speed. The company is working on two six-cylinder sizes at the presert time, viz.: 6-in. bore, and 9-in. stroke, 75 H. P., 600 revolutions per minute, 9- in. bore and 14-in. stroke, 150 H. P., 350 revolutions per minute. Larzer sizes will be added in the near future. It is also understood that they in- tend to furnish to purchasers of their engines, an outfit, at reasonable cost, comprising air compressor for start- ing purposes, generator for lighting and other uses, bilge pump, and the operating power for the set, a siall six-cylinder engine, the engine and accessories to be mounted on one base for convenience and space econ- omy. one-half the cylinder Throughout the entire. construction the aim has been to use The: same oil used over. i Nay 11 to. 16.

Selandia's' consumption of this fuel thay be. of interest. The subjoined. table gives some of the worst and some of the best' days, and the average speed for the different distances) on the outward and the homeward voyage. The weather, es- pecially on the homeward voyage, was anything but. favorable, yet. oil consumption and speed' remained. fair- ly stable; and it ist interesting to' note that the oil consumption: has gone down almost 2 tons per day from the commeéncement. of. the trip to its fin- ish; A. steamer would' have used three to four times as: much: coal..

May Extend Piers The war department decided to permit the steamship companies docking at Hoboken to extend their Picts ta 2.000 ff in order to accom- modate the great vessels that are now building for the New York ser- vice. "Both 'the Hamburg-American Line and North German Lloyd are building vessels that approach 1,000 ft. in length, and the present piers are unable to accommodate them. has
