A convenient adjusting arrange-ment is provided to regulate this. This feature of delivering the finerparticles of coal through the center dis-tributor is one of considerable value, asit prevents a large percentage of this ma-terial from going out of the stack and be-ing lost. One of the most important features ofthe Street Locomotive Stoker is the vari-able speed engine, which drives the mech-anism. This engine is provided with sevendifferent speeds, and the machine can beset at nny one of these seven speeds, and.

One of these openings is placed di-rectly above the center of the fire door,and one at each side thereof. The screen,referred to above, removes the finer par-ticles from the coal, and delivers them tothe center distributor, above the fire coarser particles pass over the are divided between the right andleft-hand tubes. The screen is circular in form, and pro-vided with openings of four differentsizes, and the quantity of coal deliveredto the center distributor depends upon thelize of opening through which it is de- will continue to run at that speed, re-gardless of the load which it h
