To release live steam at such treinendou veiceity against revolving parts of small diameter would nbw seem tha height of folly, but invenlore for nearly a hundred ycara haven't thought so.

They are entitled to a place in a list of liouored niiinca Carl do Luval of Sweden. the Hon. Charles Algernon Parsons of England. C. G.-- Curtis of New York. Three countries share the distinction. and it la better thus, fur thia la no narrow world. In the De Laval turbine the steam, la discharged from the boiler through an expanding noxxlu uion a set of vanes upon a single wheel. Good efficiency la secured, but the rotation of the wheel Is so swift that its velocity Is reduced Inn to one before It is applicable to imwer uses. This Is dona by means of spiral cut gears.
