Where desired a hose attachment. frames and bum|)ers and even the twomain engine frames have been made inone casting. Cast steel cylinders wereproduced some time ago. This extendeduse of cast steel is not only working to-wards the betterment of maintenance onaccount of the reduction in the number ofparts and connections, but also means asaving of weight. Every pound of mate-rial which can be taken out of the run-ning gear goes into the boiler where itis of the maximum use. .^bout 1900 apparently the limit ofpermissible rigid driving wheel base hadbeen reached and progress by the addi-tion of driving wheels seemed was met in two ways; by the ar-ticulated locomotive and by the lateralmotion driving box used with enginetrucks capable of large displacements, butwith sufficient resistance properly to guidethe heaviest engines. Thus one by one limitations have beenremoved, and one by one new elementseffecting economy of operation, promot-ing safety or reducing maintenance havebeen introduced. DETAILS OF NEW DE
