In this space it isscarcely possible to describethe press further. It is madefor pressures of 300 metrictons; has a reach of 4 feet,a single stroke of 4 EUROPEAN LOCOMOTIVE WORK. 719 and total stroke ofabout 2 feet.

TheParis-Orleans mud-ring (Figure 25) is,except for its shape,a simple piece, onlyhaving the two pro-jections, as visible onthe back end.

The Ital-ian water-space frames are more difficult—see Figure 40. Here thereare broad splay feet on the back end for bearing on the brackets riv-eted outside of the engine frames, and also large central blocks on backand front ends for maintaining the firebox central with the
