The evolution of engineering in the Royal Navy. Vol. 1: 1827-1939
Year: 1988 Language: english Author: Rippon, P.M. Genre: History Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 312 Description: This first volume describes and illustrates the evolution from the first paddle-wheel vessels driven by side-lever engines, through the introduction of the screw propeller, compound reciprocating engines, to geared steam turbine installations which operated so successfully during the Second World War* The evolution of the main propulsion engines was accompanied bv that of boilers; these were developed (rom simple types, through tubular rectangular boilers to small water-tube boilers with superheaters. Steam pressures rose from just above atmospheric to over 400lb/in*. Associated auxiliary machinery such as pumps, condensers, and air ejectors was developed, as required. Oil burning instead of coal was a major step forward. Also steam and diesel-electrk generators to supply power for searchlights, lighting and motors evolved along with the direct-current ring main system. High calibre guns in massive armoured turrets were evolved. The remote control of both main and secondary armament was developed along with the associated hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems. The arrival of aircraft on the scene involved many engineering changes. The aircraft carrier with its special needs for launching, recovering and maintaining her aeroplanes evolved during the First World War. Below the surface the Royal Navy was very active in developing the submarine and its systems. The diesel engine replaced the dangerous petrol engine for surface propulsion and main electric motors supplied with power from batteries were developed (or underwater propulsion. Engineering support for the Meet had to be built up by the Royal Dockyards, and by British Industry. And, above all, officers and men had (o be (rained adequately to operate and maintain all the diverse machinery in the Royal Navy's warships.
