On many roads it is the practice to load the coalinto small iron buckets resting upon the ground, theamount of coal in each bucket being weighed, then bymeans of a traveling crane these buckets are picked upand the coal dumped into the tenders when to the comparatively small size of the buckets, it isvery easy to ascertain the exact amount of coal taken byeach locomotive, but although this method determines ac-curately the weight of coal used in each case, still thismethod of coaling the tender is an expensive one, and hassome disadvantages which would always prevent it fromgoing into general use.
