Paper considers only more popular classes of vessels requiring more than 300 shp for propulsion; curves given which have been plotted to show limiting relationship between shaft horsepower and propeller speeds for several typical installations; space and weight comparisons of direct and indirect Diesel propulsion drives; mechanical drives frequently favored; favorable applications for Diesel electric drives.
