Automatic Pressure Regulator. .\s the lar^e modern steel passengertrains rc(iuire a greater volume of steamthan tliat formerly delivered, it has beenfound necessary to increase the size ofthe locomotive pressure regulating valveto take care of the pressure. The GoldCar Heating & Lighting Company, 17Battery Place, New York, has put on themarket their No. 1014 Regulator, which,; delivering ample flow of steamfor car heating, will deliver the necessaryvolume to take care of a Turbo-Genera-tor in addition, if the train should be soequipped. In our sectional illustration it will be. Locomotive Headlights. The apparently endless controversy onthe subject of locomotive headlights haspassed through another phase by the In-terstate Commerce Commission adoptingthe 800-foot headlight, instead of the1000-foot headlight order framed by ChiefInspector McManamy and the brother-hood chiefs, and which was approved bythe commission last year. The order asnow issued applies to all locomotives con-structd after July 1, 1917, and for loco-motives built prior to that date, thechanges required shall be made when theengines are undergoing general repairsafter July 1, 1917, and all locomotivesmust be equipped before July 1, 1920.
