Hi!
quote: How many revolutions was the reciprocating engine per min, on normal use.?
In normal service, Olympic's reciprocating engines tended to be run at 75-77 revolutions per minute. In May 1933, they averaged some 76 revolutions whilst Olympic recorded an average speed of 21.3 knots over the ground, Westbound.
(Source: Captain Smith's 1911 testimony, Chief Engineer Thearle's 1925 recollections, the Board of Trade's May 1933 report.)
Best regards,
Mark.
