Principal factors in evaluation of high-output marine diesel propulsion plants; alternate systems discussed are large, low-speed diesel engine with direct propeller drive; several medium-speed diesels driving through reduction gears, and many high-speed engines used with electric power transmission; detailed comparison tables of cost, maintenance, and efficiency are included; summary of advantages and disadvantages of various combinations and some proposals to aid in selection of best system.
