Thus the airport mechanics often refer to the engineer's cabin, the heart of a Clipper ship. In this small triangular space with its bewildering array of gauges and other mechanism sits the engineering officer, reading diala fte dial, jotting notes on the sheets of his clipboard, and communicating with the bridge by telephone. Any change in the Clipper's 3,600-horsepower pulse beat is recorded here and from time to time the officer peers out the windows beside him to inspect the four huge motors.
