The engines are disconnectedby uncoupling the connecting rods from the crank pins. Tochange from the water to the steam plant, bolts are removedfrom the couplings and the connecting rod is connected to thecrank-pin. To change from steam to water the operation is,of course, reversed. It is stated that the change requires about45 minutes. The reason that the engines have a mosteconomical rating at the comparatively low power is that theengines are depended on to
