Yesterday's graduate or today's veteran consultant recog- nize the Skinner Engine name and rank it number one among steam engines. Skinner has been around longer, has the most extensive service network and the largest spare parts inventory in the business. As energy costs mount, more people talk to

Skinner about using steam engines to meet power needs efficiently and dependably while applying "free" waste steam to heating, air conditioning and process requirements.

They also talk to Skinner about energy-efficient, single wheel re-entry and multi-stage mechanical drive turbines. The

Skinner family of turbines covers every drive application to 4500

HP (3357 KW).
