Slow steaming is the practice of operating transoceanic cargo ships, especially container ships, at significantly less than their maximum speed. [1] In 2010, an analyst at the National Ports and Waterways Institute stated that nearly all global shipping lines were using slow steaming to save money on fuel.
However, it was as Adderstone that the ship was the test-bed for an innovative development in marine steam propulsion, which used reduction gearing not only for an exhaust steam turbine but also for a high-speed reciprocating steam engine. Before 1934, the ship's propulsion system was a pair of steam turbines with reduction gearing.
An early type of booster used in Great Britain was the steam tender, which was tried in 1859 by Benjamin Connor of the Caledonian Railway on four 2-4-0 locomotives. Archibald Sturrock of the Great Northern Railway (GNR) patented a similar system on 6 May 1863 (patent no. 1135).

The domain speedtest.net has been used to host a speed test since 2000, and was acquired by Ookla in 2006. [12] As of 2011, Ookla claimed 80% market share and was one of the top 1000 most popular websites. At the time, Ookla derived its revenue primarily from fees paid by companies to license custom speed test and proprietary testing software.

These operate on the dynamic principals of steam vs condensate and the use of Bernoulli’s principle. When condensate released through an orifice the speed increases and a pressure drop occurs. This will flash steam to create higher pressure to close a valve (disc) or slow the discharge speed of the trap.
