and where fuel is dear or the water bad, it can ! tilted with .ulvant.i-r to 

 boats as small as 25 ft. long. When fuel economy is of no consequence, 

 non-condensing machinery is often preferred, and in th we should 



consider two m in. cylinders, 30 in. stroke would he most suitable. \\ < 

 shall be pleased to quote for these boats of any size to suit all require- 

 ments in either compound condensing or non-condensing machinery. 

 Water-tube boilers of the Thorneycroft Type are specially suited for 

 burning wood in these boats. 



TYPE No. 40. 



Many people desire to sail, but somewhat object to being left 

 occasionally absolutely helpless when the wind falls calm; and we lia\< 

 fitted auxiliary machinery into what are otherwise regular sailing yai-ht^. 

 just to make them independent of the wind. The illustration shows a !><> at 

 25 ft. by 8 ft. 6 in., fitted with our single " A " size Compound Engine^. 

 which was used very successfully by her owner for general work. I In- 

 total weight of the machinery being about 6 cwt., while a boat of this size 

 carries some tons of ballast, made practically no difference to her, and gave 

 her a speed of 5 knots. Many, if not most auxiliary boats, are spoilt by 

 having power put into them which aims at too great a speed. If this is 

 done the result is a low powered steamer which can neither steam nor sail 

 well ; while an auxiliary proper should not use her steam except when it 

 is calm, or just when entering a harbour. We have fitted vessels from 

 the size shown up to 200 tons in this manner with satisfactory results. 

 A great advantage of the small machinery is that if a two-bladed propeller 

 is used and placed up and down behind the stern post it offers no resistance 

 worth mentioning to the boat when sailing. When it is desired to convert 

 an existing yacht, the screw is carried outside the rudder as shown. The 

 universal joint which drives it will run for years without attention. 



TYPE No. 42. 



This shows a very small stern-wheeler substantially the same as one 

 recently built abroad for which we supplied the machinery. Dimensions 

 24 ft. by 5 ft. 8 in. by 6 in. draft. Engines 2^ in. and 5 in. by 7^ in. 

 compound surface condensing. For most purposes two i\ in. cylinders 

 y in. stroke exhausting into the funnel would be quite as satisfactory and 

 cheaper. Speed about 6 miles. 



TYPE No, 43- 



Many people prefer to have Yacht's launches fitted with waterways and 

 coamings, and we show one 25 ft. 5 ft. 8 in. and 2 ft. 8 in., fitted with 

 Quadruple Machinery "A" size, and Thorneycroft boiler. This would 

 give a speed of 9 miles, but about 13 could be obtained without making 

 the boat too light to hoist in davits, with machinery in if desired. 



TYPE No. 46. 



This is a smaller edition of type 36 and the same remarks apply. She 

 is 33 ft. by 6 ft. and has engines 3 in. by 3 in. non-condensing, which will 

 give her a speed of 9 miles.
