""The Marine Steam Turbine, Second Edition"" is a comprehensive guide to the construction, installation, and operation of the Parsons Marine Turbine, a type of steam turbine widely used in marine propulsion systems in the early 20th century. Written by John William Major Sothern, a naval architect and marine engineer, the book provides a practical description of the turbine, including its various components, such as the rotor, stator, and governor, as well as its performance characteristics and maintenance requirements. The second edition, published in 1906, updates the original work with new information on the latest developments in turbine technology and includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of marine engineering or the development of steam power in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
