The first| conception of a piston working in a cylinder was further developed by Meweomen (1705) and his assistant, Crawley. In their eungine the boiler ! and furnace were separated from the cyvlinder and piston, and its chiet | characteristic was an oscillating beam connected on one side with the pis- ton and on the other side with a pump-rod in the mine. “When a vacuum was made under the piston in the cylinder by the in- jection of a jet of water, causing con- | densation, the piston was driven down by the pressure of the atmosphere, and’as the end of the beam was low- | ered, the other end attached to the| pump-rod was raised with its load of water. Many improvements were made later. & “The steam turbine is an appliance ol the turbine principle to steam en- gines and has recently been applied with much success to ocean steamers of the greatest size. In this type of engine no cylinder is employed, the motion being produced by the press sure of the steam on the rims of the revolving turbine wheel. “Long used economically in connec- tion with water power, the turbine st came into competition with the ordinary steam engine in 1884, when Parson's steam turbine was first em- ployed. De Laval's invention came into the market in 1889, and some cthers of importance have since been made. “The most effective of the steam turbines consists of a long series of rings of moving Dblades, between The ter serve as guides to direct the m against the moving blades.
