Improvefl Shop Devices for Railroad Work (iary Pititon Rod Packing—A Test Rack fur AirPump—Wheel Inspectors Gauge—Flue Beading Tool The Gary Piston Roth the cylinder and on the guides thanwould, otherwise, be the case. As there is no blowingof steam the guides can always be kept projierly lubri-cated, witli the result that there is less wear on the crosshead babbitt lining than where imperfect lubrication pre-vails ; thus saving the cost of frequent relining. Further, this packing does not wear the piston rod. Gary Piston Rod Packing to a taper or out of round, which saves the cost of re-turning the rod. There are few parts which need to be renewed, thusmaking the maintenance cost very low. And in thesumming up of these advantages, it is claimed that itwill save money in oil. babbitt, piston rods, packing, timeand worry. Referring to the illustration of the packing, the springL is at the inner end and is seated in the spring case A,which is turned to an outside diameter 1/32 in. less thanthe inside diameter of the stuffing box. It is so appliedthat the spring case comes to within J/g in. of the bottomof the stuffing box in which it fits, so that the tension ofthe spring holds all of the joints neatly and properly to-gether. Then. too. when the pressure of the steam comesmto contact with the spring case, it causes the packingto automatically tighten the joint because of the excesspressure and thus secure an absolutely tight piston rodpacking. The ring B against which the spring case A bears,
