RECENTLY Steamships Trading Co. Ltd., Papua, installed a “Skandia” full-diesel engine in one of their vessels, reports the Sydney agents, Messrs. Nelson and Robertson Pty. Ltd., and they are so highly satisfied with it that they are now standardising on “Skandias”.

These engines, which immediately start from cold, use the lowest grade of fuel oil with a consumption of 2/sths pint per h.p. per hour.

They are fitted with an oil purifier, and the oil is circulating through the engine, being pumped from the crank case into the filter so that there is no loss of oil. All parts are of the highest grade Phosphor Bronze, abso lutely non-corrosive, and guaranteed to with stand the action of tropical waters. —*
