John Bourne A Catechism of the Steam Engine in its various Applications to Mines, Mills, Steam Navigation and Agriculture; with Practical Instructions for the Manufacture and Management of Engines of Every Class (London: Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts, & Green, 1865), p. fig.58. Messrs. Day & Co.
The screw engine of Messrs. Day & Co. of Southampton is also of the horizontal steeple variety, but in most of the details it is the most judiciously arranged engine I have met with. A representation of Messrs. Day's engine is given in fig. 58, which is engraved from a photograph of the engines of the steam screw yacht Brilliant, of 100 horse power, constructed by Messrs. Day. This vessel is 191 ft. long, 21 ft. broad, and of 419 tons builder's measurement. There are two engines, each with a cylinder 40 in. diameter, and 2 ft. stroke; and with a pressure of steam in the boiler of 20 Ibs., and a vacuum in the condenser of 27 in. of mercury. The engines make 90 revolutions per minute, and exert 510 horse power. Fig. 59 contains two indicator diagrams taken from one of the engines, one diagram being taken from the cylinder on one side of the piston and the other diagram from the other side.
