The proper design of locomotive and tender springs is avery important factor in securing the best results from theheavy motive power which has come into use. They are inmany cases made to fit the design of frame, boiler, etc., andeven then are not always given the attention they should years ago the writer made a number of tests to. determine just what loads driving springs were subjected toin service. A recorder was made, as shown in the illustration,to register the deflections produced by service play was allowed at C and D and a moving fit at A andB. The pointer was threaded and the tension on the platewas regulated, as desired, by hand. At times a check nutwas placed on the pointer, bearing against the inverted U-shaped section of the rod, to guard against its screwing inor out. With the recorder in place and the engine on a level track,a horizontal line was drawn to designate the static load. Thesprings had all been tested, before being applied, both forfree height (set), static working load and a test load, so thatthe loads corresponding to the various heights were horizontal line, which was used as a basis for the test,was found to check closely with the height obtained for thestatic working load by the manufacturer.
