SEE, Horace:
Engineer and naval architect; born in Philadelphia in 1835; son of Margaretta Hilyard, and Richard . Colhoun See. After receiving a classical and mathemat- ical education in private schools he en- gaged with Messrs. I. P. Morris & Co., of Philadelphia, passing through their shops and office. In the year of 1879, after passing through subordinate positions with Messrs. Neafie & Levy, of Phila- delphia, the National Iron Armor and Shipbuilding Company, of Camden, N. J., with George W. Snyder, of Pottsville, Pa., and Messrs. Wm. Cramp & Sons, of Phil- adelphia, he became superintending en- gineer of the latter concern, and was very successful in the methods intro- duced by him to raise the standard of work in this establishment, whereby the ships not only made records for speed, but at the same time were found to demand only a minimum amount to maintain. These characteristics are ex- emplified in the performance and relia- bility of the S. S. Alameda and Mari- posa, on the Pacific; the steamer Mon- mouth is another example, this vessel having since her arrival in New York Harbor in 1888 maintained her position as a pacemaker, notwithstanding she is now in her fifteenth year and many im- provements having since then been in- troduced in vessels of her character to bring about better results. In 1886 he induced his firm to modify the Govern- ment designs for machinery of the Gun- boat Yorktown and cruiser Newark by substituting the triple expansion for the double compound engine. This led to considerable opposition, but he made it so clear to Mr. Whitney. Secretary of the Navy, who was favorable towards intro- ducing that which would improve the character of the vessels, and succeeded so well in convincing him that it would be a mistake to neglect the opportunity of doing so. that his plans were adopted: The wisdom of this decision has been evidenced in the superior performance of these vessels and that of the Philadelphia, although the engines were of the hori- zontal type with its supposed limitations. The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius delivered to the United States Government in 1889 is an additional example. The engines of this vessel were of the four crank vertical triple expansion variety. the first of this kind in the Navy of the United
States, if not that of any country. The performance was highly satisfactory, a speed of nearly twenty-two knots being attained in a vessel of over eight hun- dred tons displacement at this early date. It attracted considerable attention botn here and abroad. The vessels and ma- chinery designed by him contain many improvements of his invention not only in the design but also in the methods of construction which have enabled the ves- sels to be successful from the very be- ginning of their life The cylindrical mandrel by securing a perfectly true bearing and journal exploded the errone- ous idea that it was necessary for an engine to begin with hot bearings and that time was necessary to remove such a condition. The value of this invention has been notably exemplified not only in the performance of the S. S. Alameda and Steamer Monmouth, above noted, but also in all the vessels where it has been em- ployed. The radial valve gear invented by F. C. Marshall and afterwards aban- doned by the inventor on account of ex- cessive wear has been improved and em- ployed by Mr. See with much success and with less wear and tear than can be ob- tained by the Stephenson link motion. The water-tube boiler has received im- provements at his hands by which its safety, as well as economy and durability, has been increased. Other improvements of his include the grease extractor, evap- orator, piston, and, last but not least, the ash ejector by the use of which the ashes are forced by a jet of water through a pipe from the fireroom floor upward and outside the vessel above the water line, thereby reducing the labor, avoiding
noise and securing cleanliness. Many im- provements have also been introduced by him in the construction of the hull of a vessel, that of the patented folding hatch cover being one that has not only expe- dited the handling of large covers, but made the operation safer and the hatch tighter. He was also the first in this country to employ the lap-butts in the outside plating. the bilge-keel, the water- tight air port in the pilot-house, etc. He came to New York in 1889. where his field of operations was enlarged, acting as consulting engineer of the Newport News S. & D. D. Co., superintending engineer of of the Southern Pacific Co., superintendent of the Cromwell S. 'S. Co., and superintending engineer of the Pacific Mail S. S. Co., as well as consulting engi- neer for different parties. There have been built or altered from his design and under his superintendence since his location in New York very nearly thirty vessels in the construction of which he has intro- duced many improvements both in the hull and machinery, improvements the use of which is not confined to this coun- try. but has also extended to others. His designs have not been of the sensational order or made to cater to a fashion, but
