Abstract
In this paper a brief résumé is given of the important lessons learnt from the operation of oil-fired water-tube boilers at sea since 1925. These are linked with the shipowners' requirements—particularly those pertaining to the post-war merchant service—and the development of two designs of boiler from these requirements is shown. In this way it is possible to accept fundamentally different designs of boiler for application in the same ship.
