-SHIP BOARD TESTS DESEL ENEIES Use for Idle Fleet Seen if Ves- sels Can Be Speeded to 12-Knot Rate. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 3.—The ves- sels of the United States Shipping % Board lying in the estuaries of the country are deteriorating. But they are not deteriorating as fast as ves- sels of similar character in com- mission one the seven seas. That was the opinion expressed today by a man high in the shipping industry. He believes in consequence that soon- er or later there will be a tremendous demand for shipping replacements which will make the Shipping Board vessels available. Other shipping men and marine architects agree that it is probably this fact which induced the board to authorize Admiral W. S. Benson, Admiral D. W. Taylor and William F. Glibbs, marine architect, to make prac- tical tests of changes suggested for the physical improvement of the Gov ernment-owned vessels. Speed Prime Factor. A good part of the Shipping Board fleet is little more than oblong by They were designed and built for wa purposes and finished as soon as pos- sible. Many of them have no “lines,” those graceful curves which lessen resistence of the water and promote speed. In order to move them at 12 kuots an hour or more, it would be ssary to install engines so power- els could not be od because of high v pe fuel consumption, The day has gone by when speed is not a prime factor in the transfer of ocean-borne freight. Shippers Row not only want marine freight trans- ported cheaply but speedily, and they must know within an hour or two just when a shipment will reach a certain port. The problem the com- mittee appointed by the board has to solve, therefore, 1s to change the hulls of the Government cargo cagriers so that they can be forced thmough the water at 12 knots an hour or more by Diesel engines of not more than 3.000 horsepows Even if they succeed, the Shipping Board vessels will never take the place of ships now being operated on_the main trade routes of the world. Such vessels are now being built to travel at 14 knots or better. But the recon- structed Dieselized vessels would be in splendid demand on the smaller routes, replacing vessels now in_the Mediterranean, Levant, South Seas, China and Far Eastern trade. Then, 100, the development of both east and west coasts of South America will provide new trade routes for them. v Plans Exhaustive Test. The Government right now is pre- paring to make exhaustive tests of | various types of Diesel engines. Fourteen ips of mately 9,; ach are to be con- verted to motor ships by engines de- veloping 3,000 horsepower at 95 rev- olutions a minute. The first two of these ships, the Unicoi and the Tampa, are now hav- ing Worthington two-cycle _double- acting Diesels installed at Newport News. The other will try out | the four-cycle gle-acting Diesel, which requires four strokes of the piston to complete a cycle of com- bustion, comprising exhaust of burn- | ed gases injection, compression and | combustlen, delivering power on two strokes out of four. The en- zines going into the Uniconi and v Tampa deliver power on every pis- ton stroke. All the types noted are admitted to be economical in the use of fuel. | The main effort of recent experi- ] mentation ha weight. The various Die: give the board a idea of which type shall go into the vessels which may be redesigned under sug- gestlon of Admirals Benson and Tay- lor and Mr. Gibbs. been to cut down their | PORT TRADE INCREASES.
