They are enclosed in dust proofcases and are mounted on the trucks, as shown in Figs. 1 and2, with a nose piece carried in a stirrup under the truck frame,while the chief portion of the weight comes upon the axle is fitted with a split sleeve, the ends of which aregripped to the axle by means of a form of chuck which permitsof securing perfect centering of the sleeve and rigid connec-tion to the axle whether it is rough or turned. Bearing ringsrunning in grooves in the sleeve carry the generator. Theend of one of the chucks appears at the left in Fig. 3. The. Fig. 4.
