A strange request. info


I know this sounds a little out of the ordinary.

But I need a diagram or photo of a high pressure steam turbine. The Maritime kind not our modern day "super" turbines in powerplants.

I find some photos however the machine is already inside of a vessel and it's kinda hard to get a total scope of it in a crowded engineering space.

Any knowledge or photo's greatly appreciated.

Ya wanna be thankful that there are hoarders in this world. This diagram is out of my course Notes from 1964.

Unfortunately it is not the complete pump, but merely the turbine end, although I'm sure I have a better drawing somewhere.

Finally a clear image without catwalks and piping surrounding it.

This is very helpful. I will begin rendering it imediatley.

Thanks again.

Ohhhh,... don't ask, you might give me the idea to go and dig some more of it out of the steel trunks I have much of it stored in up in my shed. If those shelves ever collapse someone's gunna be killed.

I only donated my old uniforms to a military Museum about 5 years ago, that emptied two trunks. They only wanted one pair of everything, but I said it's gotta be all or nothing.

What really gave me a giggle was that drawing actually had "CONFIDENTIAL" printed in the bottom right hand corner, although I don't think I've given away any vital military secrets, that type of pump was probably fitted in the Ark.

Don't knock on the Ark Royal! I got detention many of times as a youngster doodling her in the midst of the North Atlantic on my classwork.

No, not the Ark Royal,... I was talking of Noah's Ark.

Speaking of old,

Any idea about what a removed Parson's Turbine from the early 20th Century may look like?
