I'm looking to use an 8 inch rim and mound the existing brake drum to it and then fit the whole assembly on the 52 main gear. Anyone have an idea as to which rim/wheel would work for this? Thanks in advance.

The advantage to the steam turbine is that it burns cheaper fuel (Bunker "C" is almost like tar and has to be heated to be able to pump it), and that for maneuvering the steam turbines are more controllable and reliable - when I was shipping as a deck officer the diesels used compressed air (sound familiar?) to start, and to go from ahead to astern the diesel had to be stopped and then restarted. One had a limited number of changes before the air ran out. With the steam turbines one had almost unlimited ability to maneuver (and to piss off the "snipes" down in the engine room).

The existing wheels are.... 1) available 2) cheap 3) work well 4) have tires that fit and are available and cheap 5) have brakes designed for the wheel that already fit 5) proven over time I am all for improving on weak areas of a design, but am afraid I don't see the point of going to all the trouble to "re-invent the wheel".... sorry I just couldn't help myself!

The electric motors make for convenient reversing and speed changes. The newer ships are using drive pods with the electric motors and the screws external to the hull that are similar to the engines on blimps and dirigibles. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza brianl@lloyd.com Suite 201 http://www.lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 (voice) +1.360.838.9669 (fax) There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest.
