Afterthe articles to be counted have been placed on the weigh-ing platform, the ratio pan is moved along the bar until thebeam is in balance. The indicator above the pan, as set fora desired maximum, will then show upon the counting bar one of 700 tons at For passenger service thislocomotive can be operated at a speed of Thetractive effort at the circumference of the driving wheelsis 39,600 lb. momentarily at starting and 18,040 lb. for onehour.
