. Official proceedings . HAM) ANIJ STOKER-FTRED TESTS OVER A DIVISION. 24 might be expected from a well ia\ fire box compared withone that was starved, and the misused machine required about 14% more time to get over the division than the oneproperly supplied with fuel. Let us all remember that the energy required to movetrains is in the fuel and also to remember—It is impossibleto get something for nothing. One more example of what an ample supply of fuelmeans to a locomotive to the Railroad owning it and thepublic seeking real transportation at low cost. The locomotive illustrated operates between Russell andSilver Grove, Kentucky, and when hand-fired haul 4,800tons, but with mechanical firing 6,000 tons. Is not a gainof 25% in earning capacity of value to any person, industryor community. Much more information on this point couldbe offered, but, with the large number of stokers in service,you will all have the advantage of personal experience toconfirm the CHESAPEAKE & OHIO MIKADO LOCOMOTIVES. In covering an ordinary division en the average loco-motive used in freight service a fireman will handle from1600 to 2000 shovels of coal and he will be engaged insupplying coal to the fire box 16% of the time on course the maximum is much in excess of the figuresgiven. That the use of the stoker materially alters thesituation is disclosed by the diagram, which shows the num-ber of scoops of coal supplied by hand on two hand-firedand two stoker-fired trips. The number of scoops of coal shoveled throughout eachtrip is indicated by the vertical lines and the profile of the■division is given at the bottom of the sheet. 25 I ■ :.f:J .( ^l¥^i F I =£52 ^ -::H ... a__: ^!
