It the grate shaker levers to fit the 2-in. was applied to a modern freight engine square shaft, and we fitted two levers on and did excellent work and was well this shaft to connect with cross-head on liked by all the enginemen who used it. the steam cylinder. — ^nturd^ ^_. By operating the handle on the slidevalve on the boiler head one can applysteam to either end of the cylinder,which would operate all four sections ofthe grate if the rods were all connectedto the lever arms on the shaft. Thegrates were coupled up in four sectionsso as to shake at one time. If the opera-tor wished to shake only one section hesimply had to raise the rods by movingthe handle shown attached to the threesections which he did not wish to shake. The steam cylinder is located under thewooden deck of engine and is easy to getat when repairs are needed. The draw-ing gives details of the complete con-struction, also the slide valve which isused to operate the steam cylinder. Thisconstruction does not interfere with thehandshaking of grates if the powershaker should become inoperative. Speed Variator for Planers. A very efficient adjunct which may beapplied to belt or electrically drivenplaners in railroad repair shops has re-cently, been put on the market by theAmerican Tool Wo
