Recent progress in the principles and applications of marine engineering was conspicuous in many respects, es- pecially in the use of perlit cast iron for castings, the use of electricity for driving pumps, compressors, trucks and dock equipment. Devices for the safety and comfort of crews and 25 passengers, including the latest de- signs in wireless sets were exhibited. The number of internal combustion engines displayed spoke for the in- creasing favor shown to this feature. A wide diversity of exhibits were shown, including steam and _ internal combustion engines, boilers, oil sepa- rators, pumps, compressors, winches and refrigerators, life-saving appli- ances, nautical instruments, welding equipment and tools, and various ac- cessories.
