SNAME Hampton Roads Hears

Paper On Operating Experience

With High Power Marine Gear

Shown attending the meeting, left to right: C.F. Peacock, chairman of the Hampton Roads Section; R.L. Harrington, papers committee; D.B. Lewis, president of The American

Society of Quality Control, and T.W. Steele, author.

The Hampton Roads Section of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers met recently and heard the presentation of a technical paper titled "Operating Experience with High Power Marine Gears," by T.W.

Steele of the General Electric Co.

In the paper, the author states that the rapid increase in ship size, power, and pro- peller torque in the past decade has led to the introduction of the dual torque path (locked train) gear into merchant marine service. The performance of these units has ibeen excellent, with relatively few "teething" problems.

The continued growth in ship size and power emphasizes the need to consider the machinery and hull structure as a system rather than as discrete elements. Future trends may dic- tate more novel propulsion machinery arrange- ments. 'Weser# Shipyards Names
