Abstract
ON two previous occasions I have addressed this institution on the steam turbine. At the time of the first lecture, in 1900, the turbine may be described as having been in the “advanced experimental stage.”Six years later it was meeting with “general acceptance” in certain fields. To-night I propose to review its progress from 1906 to the present time; but before doing so I shall, with the view of leading up to the subject, and at the risk of some repetition, briefly explain the chief features of interest, and recapitulate some of the earlier steps in its introduction.
