Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . d, and,as I have no patent on it, I give it machine consists of a 2-inch steelshaft with a head keyed on end. with amandrel screwed in end of shaft wherehead is keyed on, and revolves from left steam chest, broken valve yoke, brokenintermediate rod, broken link, broken linkpin, broken eccentric blades, one or bothblades or one or both eccentric straps orcams. The reason some enginemen take downthe main rod is because, when firing, theyhad seen their engineers do so; others, forthe reason that in their opinion it wasnecessary, because they could see no wayof lubricating the cylinder; still others,because all good authorities on locomo-tive practice said to do so. Some years ago, while employed in thecapacity of a fireman on one of the East-ern lines out of Chicago, I advanced theopinion to my engineer that I could see noreason for taking down of main rod forany of the above mentioned break-downs,as we could lubricate the cylinder just aswell as if the valve was moving.

I wish to say that our ClassD engines made a good long-distancerun with the Chicago Commercial Club,from Omaha to Chicago, last month, whenthe distance, 488 miles, was covered at therate of 60 miles per hour, deducting Jackson, who is mentioned inthis letter, does not run on the divisionbetween Clinton and Boone, but west 150 miles, on No. 9, our fastmail, the fastest train on the North West-ern road. Engineer Jackson is a veryshort man [we remember him], but quitenervy, and has made some excellent runswhen train has been late. On account ofhis size he cannot reach the eccentricsfrom the outside of engine, so he stoopsslightly to get under the frames and oilsthe valve motion from inside. to right, so as not to unscrew placing foot on lever A
