There were two versions of Scotts'-Stills: One, diesel above/steam below and the other Diesel, first cylinders and then three steam reciprocating cylinders. That is the ship my Dad worked by on. Both had an auxiliary turbo generator. The problem was, they would turn something on, and the genny would go south, quickly. My Dad's experience was with the Donkey Boiler to keep power on,urged to,"Keep 'er in de blud, Lar!!".

One ship was Dolius (I think Diesel then steam cylinders). I cannot remember the other (Atreus??). Only two were built but soon converted. The next "occurrence" to Marshall Meek were the extremely high pressure steam ships......... Nuff said!
