Excerpt from Ship Wiring and Fitting
Of the mercantile class, and does not pretend to cover any Of the special appliances and wiring sys tems in use on warships. The Author has endeavoured to give others the benefit Of his knowledge gained by practical experience in the fitting up Of passenger and cargo steamers.
The installations Of the largest Atlantic liners are very elaborate and expensive but after all much the same as those on the average vessel except that they are on a larger scale. As only a few large vessels are built compared with the number Of vessels of medium size, the Author proposes devoting his attention to the latter class.
Improvements are continually being made in electrical gear for Shipwork; the systems Of wiring, however, remain almost unaltered. Shipwork is a special class, requiring skilled and experienced men, as the conditions met with are totally different to those Obtaining in the case Of similar work on land.
