Two Horizontal Direct-Acting Compound Screw Engines for U.S.S. Charleston — complete with boilers, propellers, and all appendages

This is a detailed specification for a pair of water-tight, duplicate engines designed for a 3,730-ton vessel. The setup places the two engines in separate compartments, with the forward unit driving the starboard propeller. Each engine features a high- and a low-pressure cylinder, precise valve gear, and boiler connections to support forced-draught operation up to about 7,503 indicated horsepower. The package includes boilers, screw propellers, all auxiliary equipment, and a list of tools and duplicate parts to be supplied.

What you’ll get in this edition:

A complete, shipboard-ready propulsion package including engines, boilers, propellers, and all appendages
Detailed descriptions of cylinder sizes, stroke, and high- to low-pressure arrangements
Information on valve gear, feed systems, condensers, and auxiliary equipment
An integrated scope with tools, instruments, and duplicate components included

You’ll find the design emphasizes reliable steam distribution, robust construction, and compatibility with a forced-draught boiler arrangement, making it a thorough reference for engineers, shipwrights, and naval historians.
Ideal for readers of naval engineering specifications, historical ship propulsion, and technical restoration projects.
