This Trim Generating Set your needs If you require small blocks of power—for lighting, for auxiliaries, for radio — this G-E marine set will supply them reliably and efficiently. It consists of a highly efficient steam engine, which takes steam at any standard pressure and temperature and drives a G-E generator that delivers direct-current power at 110 to 125 volts. The ratings are from 5 to 60 kw.—for either two-wire or three-wire service. Sizes up to 30 kw. are carried in stock and can be shipped promptly. Check the features of this unit and see if they meet your ideas of what a marine steam-engine generator set should have. For complete information about these sets, or about any electric equipment, re ee will meet many of © FEATURES Forced-oil Lubrication The main bearings, crank pin, wrist pin, governor bearing, eccentric, and guides on the engine are lubricated by oil under pressure. After passing through the bearings, the oil returns to the reservoir to be used again. This feature gives quiet operation, minimizes attention, lessens wear, and reduces the quantity of oil required. Raised Cylinder Improves Lubrication The piston rod passes through a stuffing box in the top of the enclosing column. The cylinder is raised high enough so that no part of the piston rod entering the column stuf- fing box also enters the cylinder stuffing box. This prevents oil from creeping along the rod to the steam spaces, and keeps condensate from getting into the column and emul- sifying the oil. Governor Is Totally Enclosed The automatic governor, on 30-kw. and smaller sets, is totally enclosed by the column. The valve eccentric is in direct alignment with the piston valve, and a simple, direct valve motion is used without any offsets or rocker-arm intermediary. Highest Possible Efficiency Short, direct passages between the cylinder and the valve- chamber ports, accurate fitting of all valves, crosshead guides, and bearings — these are some features of this en- gine which make for the highest possible efficiency.
