I'm guessing that the word "port" written on both sides of the geared flywheel meant that the engine pictured under construction was to be installed on the port side of the ship. (Titanic?) Hmmmm......is that correct?
@2ndOfficerCHL By George, you are right. I should have looked at it more cloesly. By the way; when the engine gets to a steady 'operating speed', I hear 4 low pitch thuds (presumably strokes), then a 5th metalic 'clink' sound. Is that a valve gear making that noise, or is there too much bearing slack somewhere causing that sound? Also; are there any photos of Titanic's turbine that you know of?
@SteveLLW It's probably a valve, because Titanic had two low pressure pistons per engine to maximize efficiency, so the valve "cycle" would start when all four cylinders had fired. Loose components would be disastrous in an engine this big, because it'd vibrate the whole ship to pieces.
There are definitely pictures of turbine components from the Olympic class ship. Whether any pictures of a complete engine as mounted inside the ship exist, I'm not sure.
May have gotten this from a power station. I thought I had read that there was one engine remaining that was similar to the ones in the Titanic. Was used as a backup power station.
trying to anticipate how many RPM the prop shaft was rotating at... any ideas anyone? sounds relatively low. my guess is about 60 RPM which would equate to about `Half` so about 15 knots.
What I would like to know is what engine was used to create this recording, where is it, and when was the sound recording made. Can you provide any of this, Markus? It would be greatly appreciated.

@SteveLLW It says P 401, referring to the Titanic which was "project 401" at the shipyards before she was officially named.
