LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING A Rack for Tool Rooms. A tool-room rack lor taps, dies, ream-ers, and other tools constantly passing inand out. is. in general, cither too large ortoo small; in a large majority of cases itis the latter, for the reason that the aver-age tool room develops quickly beyondthe lines laid down, and the result is, thatwhat was expected to be of a slow growthis soon filled up and running over at thesides. To best meet such a condition, it is nec-essary to start with a s
