Improved feathering paddles shown to boost ship speed on Thames tests
Observations on Lieut. Andrew Skene's patent feathering paddles reveal faster mile times and higher engine strokes when paddles feather during ascent. Experiments with 35 sq ft per wheel and deeper immersion yielded greater speed than larger surface areas, suggesting wide adoption for sea, canal, and warship use.
