    Both ships were twin screws driven by two sulzer oil engines.
    On each ship one engine was built by Barclay Curle Ltd. Glasgow whilst the other was built by Wallsend Slipway and Engineering.
    There was a rumour going about when I was with B&C that ships had to carry two sets of engine spares as was one engine was imperial and the other metric.
