Abstract	The double-ended ferry-boat propelled by means of a, bow and stern propeller has become the recognized standard type, due to its maneuvering possibilities and general handiness in congested harbors. In all cases in which the prime mover is directly coupled to the two propeller shafts which must necessarily turn at the same revolutions per minute, the over-all propulsive efficiency is lowered due to the performance of the bow propeller. The electric drive system permits of applying power when and where required and to any degree desired. Tests on the double-ended ferry-boat, W. R. HEARST, show a material gain in propulsive efficiency when driving the bow propeller electrically at a speed which gives neutral thrust. Later tests indicate, however, that there is no substantial difference in the propulsive efficiency whether the bow propeller is driven electrically at neutral thrust or is electrically disconnected and driven by the water. Sufficient tests have not been made, however, to show that this is true in all cases. The reciprocating steam-engine or Diesel-engine type of drive, in which both shafts are direct connected, requires approximately 19 per cent more horse power at the propeller shafts than the electric system, due to the difference in propulsive efficiency. The calculated fuel consumption of a typical reciprocating steamengine drive with the direct-connected system shows that it requires approximately 40 per cent more fuel than the steam turbine electric system, due to the difference in propulsive and thermal efficiencies.
