All the wheels are flanged and thespring gear for the two leading pairs ofdrivers is overhung. In the matter ofweight equalization, the pony truck andthe two pair of leading drivers areequalized together and the two pair ofrear drivers are equalized together. The boiler is a straight top one witha Wootten fire box and has a total heat-ing surface of 4, sq. ft., of which252 sq. ft. is in the fire box, 77 in thetube arches and 3,716 in the boiler grate area is goH sq. ft. The ratioof grate area to heating surface is as 1. CULM BURNERJ. H. Manning, Superintendent of Motive Power 2-8-0 FOR THE DELAWARE AND HUDSON American Locomotive Company, Builders were under a pressure of more than twoatmospheres, and according to the state-ment of Mr. C. M. Jacobs, chief engineerof the Pennsylvania, no lives had beenlost in the work of driving the an engineering feat the whole under-taking has been carried out with master-ly skill, and all concerned are to be con-gratulated on the great success which hasattended their labors.
