[Sept. 30, 1911. 
gines of the type described in the paper. He 
noted that the largest power in a single cylinder 
appeared to be 350 horsepower. Professor J. 
H. Biles said he had made a comparison of an 
oii engine installation with an oil fired turbine 
equipment in a torpedo-boat destroyer. In such 
a ship of from 700 to 800 tons displacement and 
from 12,000 to 15,000 horsepower it would be 
necessary on the basis of the figures in the 
paper to have forty-five cylinders of 19 inches 
diameter by 25.6-inch stroke. That raised the 
question of noise, and it was interesting to in¬ 
quire what life would be like on a ship with 
forty-five cylinders. Mr. Rosenthal, in reply¬ 
ing on the discussion, said he did not believe 
that any internal combustion engine would ever 
supplant the steam engine on large warships 
or liners. 
The Diesel Oil Engine. 
In a paper on “The Diesel Oil Engine,” read 
before the British Association at its recent meet¬ 
ing, C- Day argued against the selection of an 
engine being made on makers’ guarantees of fuel 
consumption. As such guarantees could not pos¬ 
sibly cover all working conditions, it was quite 
possible for the engine which gave the best re¬ 
sults on tests to give inferior results over a long 
period in normal service, when items such as 
wages, repairs and maintenance were included. 
It was urged that the judgment must be based 
on records of actual working results which in¬ 
cluded all items of expenditure, and it was 
pointed out that as the power costs of electricity 
supply stations were kept on a uniform basis, 
and the great majority of them were published 
or obtainable, they formed the best available data 
on which to judge the working results obtained 
with different types of plant. 
A table was given comparing the results of 
steam, gas and Diesel engine p’ant in stations 
where the capacity did not exceed 1,000 kw., the 
figures indicating that with the Diesel engine the 
total works cost per B. T. U. sold was barely 
more than half that with gas or steam. Con¬ 
structional features were then dealt with and 
reasons given in favor of the multi-crank verti¬ 
cal engine, particularly for dynamo driving. For 
high-speed engines forced lubrication and very 
complete inclosing were strongly advised. Ad¬ 
vantages resulting with Diesel engines were 
briefly stated as no sparking apparatus, lamp or 
burner; no carburetor or vaporizer; no back-fir¬ 
ing or pre-ignition; no warming up required be¬ 
fore starting; very smooth running owing to no 
explosion or sudden rise of pressure; cheap 
crude oils used; very little water used; and no 
ashes or offensive effluents. In regard to the 
question of continuous running, a case was 
quoted where during four years the average run¬ 
ning time worked out at twenty-three and three- 
quarter hours out of each twenty-four, or about 
one and one-half hour stoppage per week. 
Dixie IV. Being Repaired. 
The motor boat Dixie IV., which was dam¬ 
aged at the races at Buffalo, has been lifted 
from the rocks where she ran ashore and sent 
to her builders, the Staten Island Shipbuilding 
Company. It was found on examination that 
the boat was not damaged as' much as -was 
feared, and she is to be put in shape again as 
fast as possible and be ready for shipment 
abroad. 
Camp Dues. 
At the next annual meeting of the A. C. A. 
an amendment will be considered to increase 
camp dues. The notice is as follows: 
To the Members of the A. C. A.: 
Notice is hereby given proposing an amend¬ 
ment, to be voted on at the next annual meet¬ 
ing, changing Chapter I., Section 5, to read as 
follows: 
Section 5. Camp Dues.—Every member at¬ 
tending a camp shall pay for camp expenses; for 
General Camp, three dollars, and for a Division 
Camp such sum as may be determined upon by 
the Executive Committee of the Division, pro¬ 
vided such sum does not exceed one dollar. 
Associate members attending a General Camp 
shall pay for camp expenses three ($3) dollars. 
Members visiting a General Camp and leaving 
the same day shall pay for camp expenses one 
($1) dollar; but a second visit shall make the 
member so visiting liable to pay an additional 
two ($2) dollars. 
The balance of this section to remain un¬ 
changed. 
Payne L. Kretzmer, 
Chairman Camp Site Committee. 
Eouis Reichert, A. C. A. No. 4632. 
In proposing this amendment, I wish to call 
attention to the increased cost of running a 
general camp, due through the increased cost 
of labor, and through the gradual increase in 
the number of comforts which are being steadily 
added to, and which we have come to look upon 
as necessities; if we are to continue them, we 
can only do so by added revenue. 
The expenses of the camp this year will most 
likely make a small deficit to be paid out of the 
reserve fund. 
We will need more money next year. There 
should be a launch for the use of the regatta 
committee, and to follow the races; that no ac¬ 
cidents have happened in the past has indeed 
been fortunate, but I do not feel that we 
should take such chances in future. 
We are obliged to spend more money for re¬ 
pairs and improvements, and I feel that the 
members enjoying them should pay the major 
portion of the expense. 
Payne L. Kretzmer, 
Chairman Camp Site Committee. 
New Jersey C. C. 
Canoeists from five clubs in the New Jersey 
C. C. competed in the race meet held last Satur¬
