It consists of a cylindrical cast iron body which carriesacross its face a strong steel offsetting plate that is held fromturning by a key, and is adjusted in an offset iiosition liv a case.

Five thousand locomotives aresaid to be equipped with it, on such roads as the Pennsylvania,Baltimore & Ohio, New York, New Haven & Hartford and theBoston & Maine. The hose is made with a steam tube instead of a water tube,and will therefore last much longer under the action of the hotwater. It is covered with a strong flexible covering of steel. Central Position. hardened screw which is graduated to read to a thousandth ofan inch. This plate is threaded to receive a chuck or boringbar, and is adjustably tensioned and held in place by a ringnut. Offsets from 3/16 in. to Yi in. are provided and the illus-trations show the boring head when central and in its extremeposition. By using a boring tool having an offset cutting edge, a com-bination of turning the tool in the chuck and the use of theoffset in the head, permits the boring of a wide range of diam-eters with the same triol.
