The valve motion is direct; the connec-tion rod and rocker-arm being made ofcast steel. 1 he valve is of the piston typewith inside admission. There is a halfelliptic spring placed at the back of thespring .system, where a coil spring isgenerally used. The sand pipes comedown in front of the leadintr driver andare arranged so that the air valves arelielow the running board, and the pipesdistribute themselves from that point tothe various wheels.

The tender has a water bottom,and the coal space is sloped from theback, and comes out flush with the fire-mans deck. The fire doors are nothigh, and the lift of the coal scoop isconsequently not great. An advantage ofhaving the fireman on deck, and notworking from the tender, is tliat, with allthe motion of the engine, the fireman andthe firehole door maintain the same rela-tive position with reference to each otherall the time. The fireman, as he works, ex-periences the heave and swing and sway ofthe huge machine, and his aim with thescoop full of coal, as he throws it forciblyforward, is more true and is attainedwith less effort than if he was compelledto stand on the sliifting deck of the
