The crossbridge or connectingpiece between the two bogie framespasses under the bogie instead of above,as is the usual English practice. The die,in which the ball or socket bearing thebogie is given a slight lateral movement,is held steady by very strong helicalsprings.

The following are a few dimen-sions and particulars of the engine: Two inside cylinders, 19 x 24 inches. Diameter of drivers, 7 feet 8 inches. Diameter of bogie wheels, 4 feet. Diameter of trailing wheels, 4 feet 6inches. Weight on drivers, 18 tons. Weight on bogie, 18 tons. Weight on trailing wheels, 13 tons. Total weight of engine and tender inworking order, 81 tons 10 cwt. Total wheel base of engine, 23 feet 6inches. Length over buffers of engine and ten-der, 57 feet inches. Heating surface of boiler, 1, feet. Working pressure of boiler, 160 poundsper square inch. Tank capacity of tender, THE •; • in diameter. In consequence, the weightsare slightly different: Thus, on the bogiethere is 19 tons 6 cwt.; on the drivingwheels, 15 tons 18 cwt.; and on the trail-ing wheels, 15 tons 12 cwt. The dimen-sions of the boiler are identical with thoseof Engine No. 3032. These engines burn 31 pounds of coalper mile (including lighting up) with aload of about 200 tons behind Swindon and Paddington, 77^miles, these engines do very good work. ^GREAT WESTERN. karn, tl;at arrangement was first used onthe class of ten-wheel engines popularlycalled gtinboats, and built by the Phila-delphia & Reading in 1868. i i i Several have asked for the name of thefireman who fired the ten-wheeler. , on lier fast run on the Lake name is William B.
