HMS St. George
1894 Description and engraving of engines for HMS St. George. Cylinders 40 in., 59 in., and 88 in. in diameter by 4 ft. 3 in. stroke. The valves were set for a moderately early cut-off so as to indicate 10,000 horse-power, and yet be economical in coal consumption at cruising speeds. The St. George was built as well as engined by Earle's Shipbuilding and Engineering Co. She was 300 ft. long, 60 ft. 8 in. beam, and 23 ft. 9 in. draught. Displacement 7700 tons. She was designed by Mr. W. H. White, and was laid down in April, 1890. Her legend speed at natural draught was 18.5 knots, and at forced draught 19.7 knots[1]
