The end-ways movement between the engine and tender isprovided for by means of a sliding jointbetween the front end of the Inter- vex or the coal enters the vertical con-veyor w, by means of which it is raisedvertically to a point slightly above thetop level of the tire, and from which it isevenly distributed over the entire bedof fuel. The method of distribution is worthyof special note, and is accomplished bymeans of five steam jets H having anintermittent action controlled by the pis-ton valve J, which is operated throughan eccentric from the main drive shaft. The jets H are so arranged as tocover every section of fire box and per-mit of great flexibility and variation, sothat any desired part of the fire is undeithe immediate control of the fireman. \-. an example of the results obtained.

The floor of the coal space within thetender differs from those ordinarily inuse in that the horizontal floor has beenreplaced by sloping sides, which actuallyform a V. at the bottom of which islocated the horizontal screw or tenderconveyor A. This sloping formationpermits of all the coal being fed into theconveyor by gravity without the use ofagitators or other mechanical means, thussaving a considerable expenditure in mediate Conveyor B and the rigid por-tion of the Front Conveyor C to whichit is secu
