. Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . on the register in the center the total ities which have been adapted to locationswhen the requirements were for one ormore tracks. Their designs have all beentested and in every instance fully meetthe claims of the manufacturers. Our il-lustration of an all-steel coaling station February, 1913. RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING 81 shows a construction that is absolutelyfireproof. The entire superstructure \ssteel except the machinery house which. ALL STEEL COALING STATION. is of concrete. The design is such thateither spout is used. This prevents spon-taneous combustion and makes this typeof chute especially derirable on railroadsusing lignite or other low grade fuels. There is every reason to expect a steelcoal chute to last as long as a bridge orany other steel structure. At locationswhere lumber is expensive their low costmakes them especially attractive and astrong competitor of all other classes ofconstruction. The construction is heavy,rigid and compact and cannot be injuredor pulled out of line in case of an obstruc-tion entering through the hopper. Beingsalf contained, they will not bind or workhard in case of settlement of walls orshrinkage of timber. This company also make a specialty ofcoal chute machinery, hoist, buckets,loaders and spouts, as well as water sta-tions, pumping stations, water cranes, pipelines and bridge turning machinery. it consequently became necessary for usto establish suitable headquarters for
