H. Assistant Machine Shop Foreman. Norfolk & We>, Ohio A JIG has been developed at the Norfolk & \\estern-hops, Portsmouth, Ohio, for pouring hub liners onengine truck wheels without the necessity and con-sequent delay of facing ofif these hub liners after they arefxxired. Details and an assembled view of this jig areshown in Fig. 1. Both tlie cost of applying the hub linersand the number of liners which must be applied are reducedabout 50 i)er cent and due to the large number of engine truckwheels involved, the aggregate saving possible by the use ofthe jig is large. The jig. as shown in Fig. 1, consists of platein two sections bored large enough to go over the sections are held together by two ^-in. clamping boltswith special nuts, arrangement being made to hold the plateat the proper position on the journal by means of two brasstipped, >^8-in. set screws.
