Example of Andrew Laing's career in creative marine engineering for warships and merchant ships calls to mind importance of contact between practice in Royal and Merchant Navies, particularly at present time of rapid development and change; history of marine engineering since 1870 is reviewed to observe ebb and flow of advance, at one time with merchant, at another time with Naval initiative; author draws from experience in both fields to find reason for continuity of common practice, and comments on various facets of art of marine engineering. 345h Andrew Laing Lecture.
