During the twenty-one and a half hours
of the Institute's test on the Nantucket
114.800 gallons of water, or nearly a mil-
lion pounds, were recorded as having
passed through the boilers and engines,
although the original supply was onlly
about 21500 gallons. In making Its re-
Keated otrcults the stosm wns handled
y a series of pumps and other pieces
of mechanism each of which is sn im-
portant faetor In the eronomv of run-
ning tho vessel.
If you go down Into the heart of a
steamship, where passengers seldom
penetrate, and where the glow of electric
lights makes day and night the some to
those who work there, you find besides
the main engines a number of pumps
each working away in Its own fashion
to keep the big cylinders of the propel-
ling machinery In operation. Forward
of these cylinders, of which there are
threo on the Nantucket, ore the boilers,
from which a pipe supplies the engine
with Ita dally and nightly steam food.
This pipe. If you should follow It from
one end to the other, would lead you
you, one after another, to a series of
mysterioua condensers, lift pumpi*, Al-
tera boxes, and the like, that are alwayx

otherwise'restoring steam to Its original
condition.

jm and finally Into the low
pressure cylinder. For the purposes of
the Institute test these cylinders, their
rythmlcally moving pistons the direct
means of tranaforming power into mo-
tion, were tapped and each was provided
with an Indicator whose lead-- tipped
pointer steadily traced a record of the
steam pressure st that point on a card
that moved at the same time in euct
harmony with the piston stroke, the rwo
movements produslng a diagram that Im-
mediately tella, to the eye of an engin-
eer. the strength exerted at each can-
sceutlve point. Similar indicatora were
attached to every engine pump and in
the course of the test over 2.000 charts
were thus taken, each to be oft mo data
for a later study of the work done us
compared with the steam furnished.
While these investigations were in pro-
gress at the various pumps and cylinders,
a llko careful record was mude of the
speed of the vemei from minute to mln-
uts. An ele trl

vessel's wake, wltjch otherwise might af-
fect It. while an electrical attachment
transmitted the speed record direct to he
engine room where the students assigned
to different points of duty wero closely
watching the ten or n dozen revolution
counters, gauges, indicators and other
devices. The condition of the steam In
the cylinder, for example, compared with
the "knotting" of the ship at the same
moment will show, when fully tabulated
and worked out. a direct and Interesting
relation between the motive power and
the speed of a typical modern steamer
And the tests will iikewi.se give new data
for the history of the steam after it
leaves the cylinders and begins Its re-
turn Journey to the boilers from which
It started.
Such data may have most prnutlral
value to nhlp owners, for the series of
pumpn and other apparatus that forces
the .steam from place to pluce might very
well ba likened to a group of workmen
and If nny one of them shirks Its part the
result is a loss of economy ln running the
vessel. On the other hand. If any one of
them.con be mnde to do more work, the
result of course Is a gain of economy,
and eventually, if the gain can be carried
far enough, a decreased cost of transpor-
tation for such human beings us travel
by water and for auch freight as is not
too perishuble. But these pumps are not
the entire working force of a ship's me-
chanism: there aro a!«o tho electrical
P ttmt cleora the bilge,
and two or three others for minor pur-
poses, all of which have their impor-
tance as Items In the total cost of opera-
tion. Bach af these wus aa carefully
observed by tho technology men as were
the larger parts of the Nuntuckot'x ma-
chinery equipment, thus making the test
as a whole the most complete that has
ever been performed.
The data accumulated In this Inter-
esting and valuable training experience
of a party of technical students will re-
quire months to tabulate and reduce to
final conclusions. These conclusions, In
of this single steamship, are
to be compared later with the results of
other tests made on tho vessels of the
Merchant nrxl Miner's service with
hlch the Institute of Technology is
here cooperating, and the results of the
whole scries, which is under the direct
charge of Walter S. Inland, of the In-
stitute's department of naval architec-
ture. are expected to all materially to tho
exac science of marine engineering.. In
the past the Institute has made partial
tests on several other steam.shlps. among
them the James 8. Whitney, one of the
metropolitan liners running from hero to
York, and the Boston, one of the old
Yurmouth line from this city to Nova
Scotia, the work serving tho double pur-
of training technology students and
adding valuable data to scientific knowl-
edge of marine mechanisms. But the
series of tests Inaugurated on tho Nan-
tucket is considered of much greater
importance than any that havo preceded
It nnd will probably bo continued for a
number of years.
