In connection with the American Locomotive were carried out and it was finally decided that theincreased capacity desired could be satisfactorily attained throughthe medium of superheated steam, therefore the last order wasequipped with the latest design of Schmidt fire tube superheat-ers. ■ Careful tests with a single locomotive equipped in this
