Engines Installed. 



A larger variety of engines was installed during 1913 than for a 

 year or two previously — the total of the different varieties being 14 — 

 but the engines which have proved most popular in past years still 

 retained their place. 



In 149 installations regarding which information has been received, 

 the makes of engines installed comprised Kelvin, Gardner, Alpha, 

 Grei, Brit, GlenifEer, Grampian, Avance, Nat, British Monarch, 

 Parsons, Detroit, Bollinders, and Max. As in previous years the 

 majority of the engines installed in the Orkney district were second- 

 hand motor car engines, and one such engine was also installed in 

 Greenock district. 



The list given above is the more interesting by reason of the fact 

 that it includes at least four makes which are suitable for crude oil — 

 Nat, Avance, British Monarch, and Bollinders. It has for some years 

 been hoped that the crude oil engine would be developed so that 

 working expenses could be reduced, and the working of the engines 

 mentioned will be watched with interest. It must be said, however, 

 that the fishermen owning the boats in which the Nat and Avance 

 engines were installed have not confined themselves wholly to cruae oil, 

 as it was found that parafiin gave better results. 



For the majority of the other engines installed the fuel used is 

 paraffin. 



The horse-power of the engines installed during the year ranged 

 from 4 to 90. As the horse-powers are not definitely standardised, it is 

 impossible to give an accurate classification, but the following statement 

 may be regarded as approximately correct : —
