Article type: Research Article

Authors: Pounder, C.C.

Note: [1] Paper read before the North East Coast Institution of Shipbuilders and Engineers.

Abstract: The lecture falls naturally into three parts. The first part is a brief account of the development of the earlier engine types which were built in Belfast and the later types which were both designed and constructed there; the complete story constitutes a distinctive chapter in the evolution of the marine Diesel engine. In the second section a number of important, practical problems are described, and a detailed account is given of their elucidation. In the third section some typical contrivances are illustrated, each being an invention to overcome a specific difficulty. The lecture ends with some general observations.
