During this test the train wasstepped on the ruling grade and a start was made with adrawbar-pull of 28,000 lb. and the speed was increased to16 m. p. h. in seven minutes after starting. These locomotives are equipped with the Schmidt super-heater, 1 nek arches, steam reverse gear, force-feed lubricat-ors to the cylinders, the Lockyer double-beat throttle valveand steam injectors. Following is given a brief description of locomotivestogether with a description of some of the practices fol-lowed in their Fig. 2—Plate Frame for North Eastern Mineral Locomotives inProcess of Construction and the top of the stack ft. 1 in. above the rail whichis S in. less than the minimum height clearance.
