Cyclopedia of locomotive engineering, with examination questions and answers; a practical manual on the construction care and management of modern locomotives . Figure 34 tlr:s dividing it into two branches to which the steampipes are connected. These connections, which are all within the amoke-box, are clearly illus-trated in Fig. 31, towhich reference isnow made. The steam pipes Iand 2 are connectedto each of the twobranches of the T-pipe at their topends and to the cyl-inder castings at theirbottom ends. The steam is thus conducted to thevalve chests. Fig. 31 shows a sectional view of oneof the steam pipes, 2 on the right and a section ofone of the exhaust pipes 3 on the left. The steampipes are exposed to great changes of temperatureas a result of their being within the smoke-box, andconsequently the wide range of expansion and con-t/:ction to which they are subjected renders it verydifficult to keep the joints tight. Another difficulty is also generally encountered inthe assembling of the various parts formingthese connections, as, for instance, if the upper endof pipe 4 in the cylinder casting, Fig. 31, were eithertoo near or too far fr
