Thecon^■eyor is driven from the rear through gearing enclosed indust-proof casings. The drive is taken through worm gear-ing from the main stoker shaft, enclosed in tlie stoker casingand running in oil. A universal slip joint shaft transmitsthe power from the engine to the tender. Under the floor of the tank and above the conveyor is thefeeder which consists of an agitator, a deflector and a feederplate. The agitator is a grating with a double row of 34in. openings, and is operated from a rock shaft which alsomoves the feeder plate. The feeder plate is located underthe deflector plate so that when operating full stoke theopenings in the plate register fully with openings on eitherside of the deflector plate, first on one side and then on theother. .A simple on the rock shaft, which operatesthe agitator and fee
