Paper deals principally with large ships designed for speeds of 14 knots or more; for such service choice of machinery must lie between 2-cycle single-acting engines and double-acting engines of either two or four-stroke type; for passenger liner two-stroke single-acting engine has very marked advantages in all respects over any other type; for fast cargo liners two-stroke double-acting engine has slight advantage over single-acting type.
