BREWER PNEUMATIC FIRE DOOR OPENER The occupation of locomotive firemen is one requir-ing a great deal of exercise, especially if the engineis on a long freight run, and consuming 15 to 20 tonsof coal on a run. Some expert has calculated thatfor each ton of coal that is shoveled into the fireboxwith a No. 4 scoop (holding on an average 17 coal), the fireman is required to make 585 distinctmovements as for instance with each scoop full thereare five movements divided up as follows: 1. Filling the shovel with coal. 2. Opening the door. 3. Picking up the shovel. 4. Throwing the coal into the firebox. 5. Closing the door. Therefore the burning of ten tons of coal requires5850 distinct movements on the part of the fireman, INJECTORS, STEAM GAUGES, ETC. 46?. 4$8 LOCOMOTIVE EXGIXEERIXG e M f M / y u ^S ?>»? vz&rkoto?
