Excerpt from The Marine Steam Engine, Its Construction, Action and Management, Vol. 1: A Manual

The fourth division devoted to fuels, has been entirely remodelled. The process of combustion and the losses of heat in the still far from perfect furnaces of marine boilers, as well as the extreme importance of the capability of the firemen have been throughly gone into under the light of recent experiments. Liquid fuels have been comprehensively treated of on account of their extending application to warships.

The fifth division is practically identical with the former fourth division. It relates to the performance and economy of marine engines but upon a much more extended basis than before as befits the development of the multiple-expansion principle.
