HEATING AND LIGHTING CARS 103 combination automatic lock and hose support(golds). This device is designed to accomplish two purposes—■the automatic locking of steam hose couplers and theproper support of the hose and coupler. The advent of larger hose and heavier couplers neces-sary to heat the long passenger trains now in commonuse made the problem of tight joints and hose protectionone of greater importance than ever before, and, takenin connection with the higher steam pressures carriedin the train line to satisfactorily effect the heating ofthese long trains, the jarring on fast runs causes con-siderable leakage of steam, especially in passing aroundcurves. In the new arrangement the hose is relievedof the weight of the couplers both when coupled andwhen separated, the couplers being supported by ^ meansof a chain attached to the platform and sill, and a con-nection between the chain and coupler is made by meansof a lever or lock hinged onto the coupler attached tothe s^me car
