A very cheap but entirely satisfactory steam gage test standhas been developed on the Atlantic Coast Line for use atoutlying points. Before this device went into use it was thepractice to send a man out from the main shop with theweight machine to take care of this work, paying him timeand a half. The device consists of a simple hydraulic pump drawingwater from a tin basin resting in the wood frame, suitablepressure and discharge pipe connections being made to agage manifold at the top. The gage shown in the sketchmust be a new one which is known to give correct pressurereadings and should be sent in to the main shop once a monthto be checked on the weight machine. In operating the machine, after pumping up to the pres-sure desired, the stopcock in the pressure pipe may be closedand the pressure retained while the operator makes the neces-sary correction in the gage being tested. When the gage is. A Shop-Made Gage Testing Machine has proved entirely satisfactory and its use has been approvedby the Federal boiler inspector. DOUBLE RING TIRE HEATER BY H. C. SP1CERGang Foreman, Atlantic Coast Line, Waycross, Ga. The engraving shows a double ring tire heater for use withcrude oil. It will be noted that the first ring has no holes init, the second ring being drilled. This results in heating theoil in the first ring and generating the proper gas to insure Weld Together^Here ^
