These difficulties were overcome, however, in the year 1906by the invention and introduction by Messrs Sulzer Brothers ofWinterthur and Ludwigshafen-on-the-Rhine of the direct reversingengine which transformed the Diesel engine into an actual marineengine suitable for the very largest vessels in which the shafts remaincoupled direct to the engine, as is invariably necessary in large an experience extending over three years with marine enginesof the above mentioned firm, which had been supplied for a numberof boats still in service, and in view of the fact that substantialimprovements have been introduced into the details of construction,the advantages possessed by this engine are now easy to with a boat driven by steam, a saving of about one-thirdin the length of engine-room is effected, while the weight of the entireplant is about one-fourth that of a steam-engine plant of equal power,so that considerably more cargo can be carried with a corresponding.

Evaporation of Oil.—i lb. of oil fuel evaporates about 15 lbs. ofwater into steam (from and at a temperature of 212°). Water in Oil.—In burning oil fuel, water shows by the oil forming abrown coloured foam near the burner nozzle. Sputtering also occursat the burner, and if the water present is excessive, the burner flamemay go out altogether. White Vapour.—In burning oil fuel white vapour at the funnel topindicates that
