J. Small, Genl Supt, of Motive Power. two rear pair of drivers are equalized to-gether. The valve gear is indirect andactuates piston valves 12 ins. in diameter. The boiler is of the straight top type,though the roof and crown sheets slopeslightly toward the back. The gaugecocks are placed at a pitch of 3 ins.,and the highest point of the crown sheetis 3 ins. below the center of the lowestgauge cock. Crown bars are used instaying the crown sheet. The diameterof the first boiler course is 80 ins., andthe grate area is sq. ft. The heatingsurface is 3, sq. ft. in all, there sq. ft. in the fire box and 3, in the tubes. The tubjes are 15 and there are 413 of them. The tender is the Vanderbilt cylin-drical style and has a water capacity of7,000 U. S. gallons and an oil capacityo
