| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | These works are well adapted for the requirements of shipbuilding and engineering. They occupy a large space on each side of the Greenock and Port Glasgow road; the shipbuilding yard and engineering shops lie between the road and the river, and the boiler works and smiths' shops between the road and the Caledonian Railway. The works are in direct communication with the railway, and are in the immediate neighbourhood of three graving docks.
Special accommodation is provided for repairing ships, engines, and boilers. Amongst other appliances is a 70-ton derrick-crane, which has the advantage over sheer-legs of enabling a length of about 100 feet of the engine and boiler space in a ship to be under the command of the crane without un-mooring the ship, thereby enabling a steamer to receive all her machinery without being shifted.
The special work produced here includes the combined steam and pneumatic governors for marine engines, which have been applied to several ships of the royal navy, to the Cunard steamers "Campania" and "Lucania" of 30,000 horse-power, to the twin-screw steam-yacht for the Emperor of Russia, to vessels of all sizes in foreign navies, and to the leading steamships afloat. The governor was described at the last Meeting of this Institution in Glasgow (Proceedings 1879, page 406). |
