As far as possible, all corner angles are locatedoutside the pan and straight joints in the plate formed byflanging the plate to the outside, the joint being made withsheet asbestos. This construction removes a great manybolt heads from the inside of the pan. The ash pan doorsare of the swinging type and are supported from pivotpoints located back of the door center of gravity, so thatthe doors are self-closing Ijy their own weight. This isparticularly advantageous from a standpoint of fire ash pan is supported Ijy a combination cast steel bracket,which also forms a support for the grate side carriers. The grates are of the butt finger type, 10 in. wide, are infour sections, and are all moving grates. Dead grates atthe front and back have Ijeen eliminated. The center car-rier is of very light cast .steel and is reinforced. Extension Lug on the Frame Bolted to Vertical Lug on theCylinder Casting along the bottom or tension member by a structural tee iron,shrunk in place and riveted. Careful attention was given tothe design of the grate side carriers to eliminate design finally adopted has the side carriers in twosections. This permits a stiffer construction and also facili-tates any repairs to firebox corners, as only one section ofthe grates need be remoxeil. RODS AND MDTION WORK The main and side rods are of ordinary carbon steel andpresent no unusual features, except that the front and backside rods have been made interchangeable; that is, the backright and front left side rods are identical. The piston headsare of cast iron and are considerably lighter than headstwo inches smaller in diameter which have l>een used asstandard on other Canadian Pacific locomotives.
