Special pumps are provided forlubrication and there are hand-operated centrifugal pumps in-cluded on the locomotive for priming the cold water, circulatingwater and the fuel piping when needed. A Westinghouse brake equipment is used, there being shoes onall of the wheels. The air for braking is taken from an inter-mediate stage of the compressor and stored in a special reservoir. The organization formed to build this locomotive, and prob-ably to also control the construction of future locomotives of thesame type, is called the Thermo Locomotive Company.
