It is the intention to build a cabover the entire length of the machine as shown in theillustration on the opposite page. The frame and running gear are very similar to thoseof steam locomotives. There are three pairs of coupleddriving wheels 49 in. in diameter, a radial two-wheeledpony truck with wheels 36 in. in diameter at one end and is unsymmetrical by reason of having a pony truck at oneend and a bogie truck at the other, the locomotive isadapted for running in either direction. Preferably itwould be run with the bogie truck in front. The system of spring supports is equalized between allsix wheels on each side and is also cross equalized. Thepony truck at one end has a radial center bearing and is. Flexible Coupling Between Motor Shaft and Crank Arm guided by two radius bars, which are pivoted at the centerof a cross piece between the frames forward of the reardriving wheel. The total weight of the locomotive whenequipped with two 800-hp motors will be 250,000 lb., ofwhich 162,000 lb. will be carried by the three driving gives a weight per driving axle of 54,000 lb., which isslightly less than the maximum weights employed on high-speed steam locomotives, but is much higher than the
