Locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . - comfortable;being in the center of the boiler, there islittle \-ibration, and each side is throttle is an innovation ; the stemcoming, as it does, from the dome in therear of the cab, shoves iu instead of pull-ing out, and has a long stem running inbrackets on top of tlie boiler. The leveris the regulation Baldwin ratchet, but onthe stem, between the brackets, there is astiff-coiled spring, which is by ahand nut ; the tension of this spring tendsto open the throttle, and can be so adjustedthat the engineer can handle his valveeasily without jerking. On the stem out- -^. side of the first bracket, a coarse-pitchthread is cut, and a heavy, knurled brassnut is placed ; when the engineer leaveshis engine he can quickly run this nut upto the bracket and lock the throttle are sandbaxes in the back of thecab to use for backing up, provided, as theregular box is, with Leach air sand jets. The tires are secured on the drivers bjretaining rings ; but an improvement overthe Mansell pattern is that they are lippedinto the wheel center as well as the tire, therivets merely holding the ring in place. The engine and tender are painted RoyalBlue and gold-leafed to match the trainshauled, and look verv handsome. Gould couplers and passenger platformbuffers are used on the engine both for-ward and back. Both injectors are on the right side ; theblower can be worked from either side ofthe cab or from the firebox deck, andthere is a steam gage and light on therear of firebox for the benefit of the fire-man. The driver and trailing-wheel brakeshoes are on the
