Diesel engines for land and marine work . is seen that the over-all length is 42 ft. 4 in. inclusive of the flywheel. There aretwo silencers placed underground, and the main exhaustpipe from the engine to the silencer is also below the engineroom floor, the exhaust gasses from each cylinder beingdelivered into this main pipe by a separate pipe seen inFig. 61. There has recently been a tendency to construct thelarge two-cycle engines for stationary work exactlysimilar to the marine type except for the reversing gear—a tendency much to be commended. In the engines of4,000 which Messrs. Sulzer are building, this pro-cedure has been adopted, and in general design such motorsare the same as the marine engines described later indetail. In the 4,000 , type there are six cylinders, each of30 in. diameter and 40 in. stroke, the speed of rotation forfull load being 132 revolutions per minute. Two scavengepumps are arranged at the end of the engtne, driven directoff the crank shaft, and between these cylinders, also driven. [To face page 108.
