The President : — You have heard the names offered for election by the Council. As 

 many as are in favor of the election of the gentlemen named, make it manifest by saying 

 "Aye;" contrary-minded, "No."' It is a vote, and the gentlemen are elected. 



We will now proceed with the regular order of business, which is the presentation of 

 paper No. 11, entitled, "The Application of Small Steam Turbines for Auxiliary Purposes 

 on Board Ship," by Messrs. W. J. A. London and Frederick D. Herbert, Members. 



Mr. Herbert : — In presenting this subject for your discussion, I will say that we have 

 simply endeavored to give you a little of our own experience and endeavored to refer you 

 to papers which have been read beforehand on relative subjects. There is nothing particu- 

 larly new in the adoption of the turbine for generator work. There has been some develop- 

 ment of the turbine for pumping work, but on force draft it is quite a new field, as a few 

 years ago there were no fans applicable for direct connection that we knew of, and there 

 our marine work has really made the first step in direct-connected force draft problems.
