A second pipe, which permits the added use of satur-ated steam taken direct from the top of the boiler is alsoconnected with this pipe. This has been added in orderto provide greater steam supply to the tender engine for peakloads on heavy grades. The saturated steam supply and thesuperheated steam supply are controlled separately by gatevalves in each pipe, operated from the cab. The steam. 84 General Arrangement of Mogul Running Gear and Machinery Applied to a Mikado Tender engines or to the water tanks of the Mikados. In fact, it isas though the boiler were lifted from the retired locomotiveand the water tank of the Mikados placed on the frame inlieu thereof, the running gear and machinery, together withthe cylinder castings and frame remaining intact. Thediameter of the cylinders of the tender engine has beenreduced, which, with the reduction of one inch in diameterof the Mikado type cylinders, does not overtax the Mikado supply to the Mikado engine itself is also independent ofthese two sources. The reversing mechanism for the tenderengine is controlled from the engne deck, as indicated inthe drawings. The reach rod is provided with notches to givefull gear, three-quarter gear, one-half gear and one-quartergear forward, and full gear and three-quarter gear reversing gear of the tender engine may be operated byanv salable r
