The Zyabloff By-Pass Valve of the tender when running backward, while the headlightis mounted on top of the smoke box. Included in the equipment of these locomotives, are Rus-sian-Westinghouse automatic air brakes, LeChatelier cylin-der water brakes, electro-pyrometer for indicating super-heated steam temperatures, and a six-feed mechanicallubricator. The injectors are of the Russian vertical type,and are mounted on the back head. In connection withthem, sprinklers are applied for the ash-pan, smoke-l)oxand cab deck. Power-operated fire-doors have been applied completely closed in at the sides. Special attention hasbeen given to such details as steps and running boards. Inaccordance with Russian practice, the running boards areprovided with outside hand rails. The tender is mounted on two four-wheeled, arch-bartrucks. The tank is of the water-bottom type, and isci|uipped with a water level indicator. A radial buffer isapplied between the engine and tender. These locomotives, after bei
