McCOY . adjustable drilling stand for firebox work is in use onthe Canadian Government Railways, and is the design of anemployee of that system at Truro, Nova Scotia. The engravingshows the application of the device to firebox work, and alsogives the details. The supporting piece is made up of steeltubing arranged so that it can be adjusted for different lengthsaccording to the position occupied in the firebox. A doublecenter is placed in one end to prevent turning, with an adjusta-ble single center in the other to tighten the stand in place.

This arm has center marksplaced at convenient distances along its length to provide ad-justment for the drill. While this device is intended primarily for firebox work itcan be readily seen that it is adaptable to many other positionsabout a locomotive where drilling is necessary. DE¥II(0 BRAKE SHAFT D
