Marine Engines for Land Use.
An interesting departure in engineer
ing is the introduction of marine engines
for land service. One of the t elec
tric illuminating companies, it appears,
has adopted them in its work, and con-
cerning their economy in respect to space
and power it is reported, says the Age of
Steel, that the land engine takes up some
ten times as much room as a marine en
gine, and the marine quadruple ex pansion
engine has ten times the heating surface
of She land.
