Abstract
Abstract The author discusses various transmission systems now available which might be used in connecting a gas-turbine power plant to the propeller of a merchant ship. The major problems to be met by any transmission system are those relating to reversibility and maneuverability. It is concluded that alternating-current electric drive, mechanical reversing gears, and mechanical reduction gear with the controllable and reversible pitch propeller offer acceptable solutions to the problems.
