Steamships, Progress, Heat


    Warns that the article is 'a little premature in saying that [the Clyde shipyards] could build a ship to run forty knots. The consumption of coal would probably be too great. Much more must be done in the way of utilising the heat that is at present wasted before any such speeds can be attempted'.
