sults in a decreased steam pressureadmission to the first stage of the reaction blading of the turbine, whichis hence less topic to shock or vibration when steam is initial turned onfor either ahead or astern. It will therefore be evident that the maximumsteam pressures are exerted on the impulse blading only, the reactionblading getting the steam at significantly reduced stress. 668 Verbal Notes and Sketches CURTIS TURBINES. Ttie British Thomson-Houston Co. Ltd., Rugby, own the patentfor the Curtis steam turbine, which they have manufactured at theirRugby functions for a considerable time, and which they apply to theirelectric generators. By the courtesy of the British Thomson-Houston Co. Ltd., the author is enabled to reproduce the followingnotes on turbines. Impulse Turbine. An impulse turbine is distinguished by the fact that the potentialenergy of the steam is transformed into kinetic energy by expansionof the steam through sjjecially shaped stationary nozzles.

This is shown diagrammatically in No. 21. The effect of the steam on the buckets outcomes in the steamgiving up the entire or portion of its velocity and consequent energyto the buckets, thus causing rotation of the wheel. It is often argued that the velocity of the steam in animjDulse turbine is liable to trigger harm to the moving bucketsthrough erosion, but this has been proved not necessarily to be thecase, as the buckets of Curtis turbines which have been running forsome years show on examination only the very slightest tracesof wear.

These Helicopters are remarkable. One of my brothers sent me this text from the Erickson web site: The Erickson S-64 Aircrane is manufactured by Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated which is headquartered in Central Point, Oregon. The aircraft wasoriginally manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft as the S-64A "Skycrane" and sold to the Army as the CH-54A "Tarhe". The CH-54 performed with an outstanding service record in Vietnam supporting the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division, Airmobile by retrieving more than 380 damaged aircraft, saving an estimated million. The S-64 was the very first helicopter built as a flying crane with an aft-facing pilot station that offers the pilot an unobstructed view of the load getting carried and complete good handle of the aircraft in the course of precision operations.
The rotor program consists of a six-blade totally articulated primary rotor and a four-blade tail rotor. The S-64E is powered by two Pratt and Whitney turbine engines generating a combined maximum takeoff rating of 9,000 SHP, giving the S-64E model an external load lift capacity of 20,000 pounds (9,072 kg) at sea level. The S-64F characteristics a strengthened airframe, a rotor program with longer chord length, and two Pratt and Whitney engines rated at 9,600 SHP which provides the S-64F model an external load capacity of 25,000 pounds (11,340 kg) at sea level
