That answers my time to full steam question anorlunda, thanks. And Drakkith, thanks for the book reference I will look into that one but I don't think it gives details of operation. Thanks.
So, if I can find out if REVERSE is accomplished via the gears or making the steam motor work in...
Were steam pressure gauges used in 1860?
Was a vessel reversed by reversing the engine or within the gearing?
For a small steam powered launch, how long from a dead stop would it take to get a boiler up to operating steam?
This is for my study of Confederate torpedo boats.
Thank you for your...
