WASTE RETAINER FOR JOURNAL BOXES The object of the attachment illustrated herewith is to keepthe waste in a journal box from working forward and forcingopen the lid, and to prevent it from piling up in front of thejournal collar and away from the inner end of the journal. Thedevice also prevents the waste from getting under the journalbrass. As the waste is held close to the journal under the brass,the journal is kept lubricated at all times without becomingheated; furthermore, the device prevents cinders and dust fromgetting into the packing. The side waste retaining members. A, are formed with curvedextensions which serve to support them at the inner end. Thefront edge of each side member is provided with a lug, B. inwhich is a slot adapted to receive the closing gate, C. The. Coal Sprinkler In Position on Backhead of Boile the sprinkler is not in operation. Lnless the water passage is en-tirely closed when the injector is used for heating the water in thetank, steam is likely to back up through the suction pipe of the Journal Boxes. upper edges of the side members are curved inward as shownat T), so as to come against the journal and serve as a stop toprevent waste from being dragged upward under the device is made of 1/16 in. sheet steel and can be appliedby removing all the packing from the box and taking both sideplates, which are wired together at the bottom at the back end, inboth hands and sliding them into place. The brass and wedge canbe removed without disturbing the retainer, and inspectors arealso given a better opportunity to inspect the brass and jour-nal on account of the packing being held down. It is alsoclaimed that the packing necessary is reduced 50 per cent. September, 1913. RAILWAY AGE GAZETTE, MECHANICA
