About 1860, inside-con-nected Engines came into fashion again,and this type is becoming general. Therewas for years a strong rivalry between thedesigners of inside and outside connected gine is working hard. As these peoplehave never adopted cast-iron saddles, thegirders used to brace outside cylinders to-gether are too yielding, and the cylindersoften get loose. As inside cylinders canbe securely bolted together, a good, securejob is easily made. Then, of course, thepower from inside cylinders is applied sonear the center of motion that there is the «4 to make everything look smooth and sim-ple. In this respect the simplicity is moreapparent than real, for rather complex ma-chinery and running gear are covered up by^vheel covers and slab frames.
