The ashpan has independent doors for air admissionanil for withdrawal of ash. The smokebox is fitted with the Louvre tvpe spark arrester. The cylinders are speciallyadapted for working with superheated steam in respect of theon-valves and piston-rod packings. The valve gear is ofthe Walschaert type, with steam-reversing gear controlledby hand lever and water cataract cylinder of the type intro-duced by Mr. J. F. Macintosh. The oil feed to the cylindersand valve chests is regulated by a mechanical bearing springs are provided at their ends with auxiliaryrubber pads. , \.KS clear apparatus is fitted on each. of a II and connected at the smokebox end to a header (C),thus forming a continuous double-looped tube. The steamhas to traverse each clement to and fro. The open ends ofeach element extend into the smokebox where they are bentupwards and secured to the face of the steam collector. Theconstruction of the steam collector, and its connections to thesteam pipe and valve chests are such that no steam from theboiler can reach the cvlinders without passing through thesuperheater tubes. The flow of heat through the large tubesis controlled by dampers (D) hinged below the steam collector111 1 lie smokebox. We have received from the North British LocomotiveCompany two handsomely got-up pamphlets—one in Englishand the other in Spanish—descriptive of their exhibits, andincluding several photographs of locomotives constructedby them for the principal Argentine railways.
