Because of the numerous sharp curves on certain divisions ofpractically all the railroads in the country, an excessive amountof trouble is caused by worn flanges of locomotive driving andtruck wheels. Incidentally an excessive amount of wear is alsogiven to the rails, compelling their frequent renewal. It is easyto understand that if the inner part of the flange of the wheel or. DRIVING WHEEL FLANGE LUBRICATOR. the inside face of the rail could be properly lubricated a verylarge proportion of this wear would be eliminated. A lubricator for exactly this purpose has been designed and isbeing manufactured by the J. C. Martin Sons Co., San Francisco,Cal., which is shown, as applied to a locomotive driving wheel,in the accompanying illustration. This device has proved to becapable of remarkable results in actual service and is in use onquite a number of railroads of the Southwest and in has been found to be particularly valuable when applied tothe trailing wheels of Pacific type locomotives. The arrangement consists of a shoe which fits over the flange,being held in place by a couple of coiled springs and guided bya yoke attached to the frame. Provision is made for accommo-dating the movement of the wheel by allowance between theguide yoke and the guides, as well as by the compression of thesprings. The interior
