. Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . ed insuch cases. Remove the eccentric rod,disconnect the radius rod from the liftingshaft and secure the link block by piecesof wood fitted into both ends of the linkslot, holding the link block securely in thecenter of the link. The valve on the side shown in Fig. 4. Disconnect the rtdiusrod from the lap and lead lever. Sus-pend it clear of the latter. Secure thevalve to cover the ports. There is usuallya set screw or other device for this pur-pose. Clamp or block the crosshead atthe back end of the guides as shown inthe illustration. With the valve motiondisconnected in this way, the reverselever is free to operate the other side,and the locomotive may be run with onecylinder in operation. In the event of the March, 1917. RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. 79 crosshead arm, or combination leverbeing broken, the same method may befollowed. .\11 broken parts that would same course may be followed as shownin Fig. 4, and already described, exceptthat the combination lever must be taken.

If this was left in place, theradius rod would strike it in its motionwith the movement of the link. Again, if the valve has inside admis-sion, the locomotive might be blocked asshown in Fig. 5. Suppose the combina-tion lever, a connector to crosshead, orcrosshead arm was broken. In such casedisconnect the radius rod from the lapand lead lever. Suspend it clear of thelatter. Fasten the lower end of the com-bining or lap arm lead lever ahead toclear the crosshead on the forwardstroke. The locomotive can then be runin with one side working. With outsideadmission valves, under conditions simi-lar to those assumed in Fig. 5, the com-bining lever must be removed from itsplace. When the radius rod is suspend-ed a chain or wire should be used. Ropeis readily cut
