The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. LouisRailway use a great deal of compressedair at their main shops in Nashville, aswell as in the pneumatic interlockingswitch machines in the yards there. Ifthe water which is freed after compres-sion is not all separated from the air be-fore it goes to the machines it gives lots oftrouble. To obviate this trouble the deliverypipe from the compressors passes throughthe water tank, using a long coil in thebottom of the tub, which cools off the aircompletely, and the water remains in themain reservoirs when it arrives is a very large storage capacity, so January, PORT MILLING \CHINE. taking the half saddle and cylinder to amachine. It also has a record for fastwork that cannot but commend it to everyshop handling new cylinders. It has allrequisite movements, ample power to dothe work, and can be readily attached toany standard locomotive cylinder. Theframe or bed is fastened to the steam-chest seat of the cylinder using the boltholes for that purpose. The uprights aremoved on the frame by means of racksand pinions until the milling cutter isover the ports as desired, and are thensecurely fastened to the frame. A gradu-ated scale let into the side of the framefacilitates accurate measurements. The crosshead carrying the spindle islowered similar to that of a planer untilthe milling cutter is at the required depth,and then securely fastened to the spindle is of steel, of large diameterand runs in conical bronze bearings withadjustment to compen
