American engineer and railroad journal . g the past two years, has been re-markably successful in operation on both the heaviest type ofMallet freight engines and on high speed freight trains sched-uled at passenger train speed. This stoker has proved itself under these conditions to satis- factorily fulfil all reasonable requirements in connection withhandling large quantities of fuel, giving perfect combustion,which means smokeless combustion and in proving its reliabilityand flexibility while running in pooled service. The principle on which ths stoker is designed, viz., the steamjet or scatter type, is one which permits the lower grades offuel to be satisfactorily burned, giving a high combustion effi-ciency at low fuel cost. It is also one which, because of theconstant and steady injection of fuel, maintains a very constantfirebox temperature, resulting in a decided decrease in boilermaintenance with its often accompanying engine failures androundhouse delay.
