The en-gine is the four-cycle type, receiving witheach double stroke the required amountof benzine through a small pump drivenby the engine, the explosion of the air-benzine mixture being effected by a mag-neto-electric igniter. The engine turns at300 revolutions per minute. The locomo-tive can make as* much as 6 kilometersper hour, or 100 meters per minute. Theweight of the locomotive, including thecooling water, is about 2,400 kilo-grammes. The consumption of fuel is atfull load, in the case of benzine or benzoloperation, to kilogramme of ben-zine or benzol; the corresponding figuresbeing to kilogramme in thecase of alcohol or petroleum
