Editors: I have from time to time noticed a greatmany cuts and descriptions of locomotivepiston removers in your paper, operatedby both hydraulic and screw power, and it as it is guaranteed to remove the mostrefractory piston. There is no patent on the device, whichis free to be used by all. and it will befound to be a most valuable adjunct to theshop tool-room. ,TAM Wright,Chief , Pa. i i ^ Ornamentation of Locomotives.
