Abstract
Journal of the Franklin Institute, No. 697, January.—W. Dennis Marks, note on the losses per horse-power by condensation of steam in pipes and cylinders of engines.—De Volson Wood, the cheapest point of cut-off.—Prof. R. H. Thurston, the theory of turbines. This is the conclusion of a very valuable mathematical paper given in a very full abstract.—B. N. Clark, water-line defence and gun-shields for cruisers.—W. Dennis Marks, economy of compound engines.—Prof. E. J. Houston, the Delany synchronous-multiplex system of telegraphy. This invention is founded on La Cour's phonic wheel, and bids fair to supersede harmonic multiple telegraphs.
