Above thecast steel cross ties there are twolongitudinal steel pieces of about 36sq. ins. in section which are solocated with reference to the centreline of the locomotive as to equal-ize the uneven balance caused bythe necessary off-setting of the ar-mature on the axle and consequent-ly of the field coils. These longi-tudinal pieces are also of value in forming part of the magnetic circuit of the motors. eventually will be installed a boiler for steam train of the illustrations gives a view of the interior of thecab, showing the location and arrangement of the
