Lt.-Comdr. A. W. Hinds THE DEPARTMENT OF MARINE ENGINEERING AND NAVAL CONSTRUCTION. S modern battleships become more and more complicated, and as their intricate steam and other machinery is now being run by line officers, it behooves every midshipman to make good use of the time that he spends with this department. Steam machinery and ship construction, which are hard enough for a would-be naval constructor to understand, are made as clear as possible by the use of sectional and working models of all sorts and descriptions, from globe valves to floating dry-docks. It should not be forgotten that this department gives the midshipman an excellent opportunity to become familiar with the use of tools and make things for himself — there is science even in handling a monkey wrench. I savvy lap and lead, and can calculate the speed, That an epicyclic train will drive a drill; I can shape the teeth of wheels, and find the size of reels, That are used in hauling heavy weights up hill. So said Joe Gish — and then some, as he made the hole in his hollow crank- shaft larger than the shaft itself, and read in his Engineering Mechanics that such things were but examples of the many compromises that had to be made in engine designing. 23
