Methods of using oil in locomotive fire boxes havebeen studied with special care on this road and until the de-velopment of this arrangement, Mr. Heintzelman considersthat all have been working on an entirely wrong principle. Thiswas probably for the reason that no one could see how oil couldbe burned in a locomotive in any way except that of usualpractice. There is good reason to believe that this systemwill continue to be as successful as at present and that it willrevolutionize methods of burning fuel oil in this service. Thisseems to be the most contribution to progressin fuel oil burning, and It seems likely to result in great ad-vantage to the life of firebox sheets and tube -36J *)< 20 - i I , I ■ I =c I I I I r~—n i , i. r~TT ii -r-^-T I I ■I i i I , -<uv- —, ZZ?! <£
