This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905 Excerpt: ...screw tunnel by a strong flange, which is strengthened by a stout wrought-iron or steel ring; the after end of the stern tube must be a good tight fit into the stern post, if so fitted. To ensure the hole in the stern post coming in the right place, the stern post must be temporarily bored out, then lined off, and the hole bored afterwards in correct line and position. A thin wrought-iron ring nut, screwed on the end of the stern tube with a fine thread, prevents it from being drawn out. Sometimes the stern tube is fitted in from the stern; the flange must then be outside against the stern post, and the nut in front against the bulkhead. This method of construction has the advantage of allowing the stern tube, when the ship is in dock, to be drawn out with ease.

Cooling water from the engine is sometimes admitted at the after end of the stuffing box. 208. Method of Construction for Light Warships. The stern tube is generally made of brass, and strips of lignum vita;, or less frequently of white metal, are fitted direct into it. To economise weight, the centre piece is often made as light as possible, and not infrequently consists only of a light metal tube. In torpedo-boats a steel tube is sometimes used for the stern tube, with bronze bushes fitted into it. Brass stern tubes are usually made about half the thickness of castiron stern tubes. (See page 348.) For lignum vitae linings, see page 349. Fig. 339 shows the stern tube of an armoure...
