que máximo esse som. é como uma sinfonia trabalhando exatamente, igual a outra

No wonder men got a whole lot of different kinds of ear damage working on those kind of conditions for the most of the day.

@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.

this is real horce power

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

omg that would drive in insane being down there all the time

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?
