Appendix 655 Combined Reciprocating Engines and Turbines.—The most recentpractice in mercantile steamers is tlie combination of reciprocatingengines and turbines for vessels of moderate or low speeds. Severalsteamers of this class are at present under construction, and thearrangement consists of two wing triple or quadruple expansionengines exhausting into a central low-pressure ahead turbine, drivinga third shaft and propeller, the revolution speed of the centre turbineshaft being much higher than that of the wing shafts. An alternativedesign is that of two wing low-pressure turbines and one centre re-ciprocating engine. The engines are arrange
