This quantity in-creases with the speed until the capacity of the pipe is reached,and at from 40 to 50 miles an hour about gals, may be New York Central & Hudson River Railroad. It is apparent that the track tank is becoming more andmore necessary for both freight and passenger equipment onroads having congested traffic. Improvement of practice inthis regard has been recorded in these pages, and we are nowpermitted to present the results of some experiments madelast year on the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad,which led up to the design of water scoop which was illus-trated on page 143 of our May issue of this year. These experiments were undertaken in a study of the dif-ferent forms of water scoops which were then in common use,and included the practice of four different roads.
