Very interesting........
During Sea trials of the "BRITISH VISION" comparative stopping test were carried out, and it was shown that the engine under normal conditions, without braking, was stopped in 4 min. 45 sec., wheras with NEM-Stop braking as described, it was stopped in 50 sec.; this test also demonstrated that the use of Nem-stop equipment reduced the time of stopping the vessel by over than 2 minutes
I also like the comment about how it can be used as an Emergency Stop if something goes wrong with the Engine.
Having listened to Sandy Kinghorn singing the Song of the Doxford Engine this was quite a regular occurence with some Models.
