From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Turbine \Tur"bine\, n.
      A form of steam engine analogous in construction and action
      to the water turbine. There are practically only two distinct
      kinds, and they are typified in the de Laval and the Parsons
      and Curtis turbines. The
  
      {de Laval turbine} is an impulse turbine, in which steam
            impinges upon revolving blades from a flared nozzle. The
            flare of the nozzle causes expansion of the steam, and
            hence changes its pressure energy into kinetic energy. An
            enormous velocity (30,000 revolutions per minute in the 5
            H. P. size) is requisite for high efficiency, and the
            machine has therefore to be geared down to be of practical
            use. Some recent development of this type include turbines
            formed of several de Laval elements compounded as in the
            ordinary expansion engine. The
  
      {Parsons turbine} is an impulse-and-reaction turbine, usually
            of the axial type. The steam is constrained to pass
            successively through alternate rows of fixed and moving
            blades, being expanded down to a condenser pressure of
            about 1 lb. per square inch absolute. The
  
      {Curtis turbine} is somewhat simpler than the Parsons, and
            consists of elements each of which has at least two rows
            of moving blades and one row of stationary. The bucket
            velocity is lowered by fractional velocity reduction. Both
            the Parsons and Curtis turbines are suitable for driving
            dynamos and steamships directly. In efficiency, lightness,
            and bulk for a given power, they compare favorably with
            reciprocating engines.

            which lines and figures for indicating the time are
