The joint isguided between the inner walls of thehigh-pressure cylinder saddle. In thisway the reversing connections are simpli-fied, and when the engine is on a curvethe angular position of the reach rod haspractically no effect on the forward valvemotion. This arrangement had been madethe subject of a patent. One of the locomotives is equipped witnVanadium steel frames, and the otherwith frames of carbon steel. The con-nection between the frames is single, andis effected by a cast steel radius-bar whichalso constitutes a most substantial tie forthe rear end of the front frames. Thefulcrum pin is 7 ins. in diameter; it is in-serted from below, and held in place bya plate supported on a cast steel crosstie,which spans the bottom rails of the rear tioned, which supports the low-pressurecylinders. The cylinders are keyed atthe front only. The bumper beam is ofcast steel, 10 ft. long, while the maximumwidth over the low-pressure cylinders S. SECTION THROUGH H. P. CYLINDERS. approximately 11 ft. The boiler is sup-ported on the front frames by two bear-ings, both of which have their sliding sur-faces normally in contact. The frontbearing carries the centering springs, andthe wear is taken, in each case, by a castiron shoe 2 ins. thick. Both bearings arefitted with clamps to keep the frames fromfalling away when the boiler is locomotive naturallv embodies in valve gear are placed outside the secondpair of driving wheels, and are supportedby cast steel bearers which span the dis-tance between the guide yoke and thefront waist bearer. The low-pressurevalve stems are connected to long crosb-heads, which slide in brackets bolted tothe top guide bars. The locomotive isreadily separable, as the joint in the boileris but a short distance ahead of the artic-ulated frame connection and all pipeswhich pass the joint are p
