to be the most ^.ui^factory for all purposes though of slightly greater first 

 cost. We use the best materials \\ - t, and \\< put tin- 



workmanship into them that it is possible to obtain. We do not prof< 

 build engines on the interchain^ -able system, as we do not consider that any 

 engines can be so perfectly fitted if built in this way as if each engine is 

 fully fitted up by hand. All the forcings of our engines are 

 made of best quality Siemen's steel, and they are all designed with substantial 

 working parts and large bearing surfaces. The 1 are <>f special alloy 



gun-metal, or in high speed machinery white antifriction metal. These are 

 the best quality of bearing metals that can be obtained, but we shall be 

 pleased to supply any other special bearing metals in engines if desin-d by 

 customers. The pumps are entirely gun-metal, pipes copper, propellei 

 propeller shafts Hull's metal, stern tubes gun-metal, boiler shells 

 quality Siemen's steel, and boiler tubes brass in the small sixes and iron in 

 the larger, for shell boilers. For water tube boilers \\e only employ 

 seamless steel tubes for all sizes, and these are gal\ani/ed ; copper tubes, 

 though cheaper to buy and work, have been proved by Admiralty and 

 other experience to be unreliable and dangerous. We shall be pleased to 

 build any type of machinery to Lloyd's, Board of Trade, or any other 

 special survey if required, purchaser paying expenses.
