Discussion of design and installation of units developed by Orenstein-Koppel and Luebecker Maschinenbau AG; models of Tornado thruster, of between 120 and 1000 hp, have been put into operation; it is noted Tornado is also suitable for supply ships, ferries etc; welds at transverse tube proper to be effected by shipyard are restricted to those at connection with shell, so that small allowance required at propeller tips to ensure little cavitation and good efficiency is retained; for certain vessels, Tornado drive is available, and consists of gear and propeller of Tornado transverse thruster arranged freely behind ship.
