AMERICAN ENGINEER AND RAILROAD JOURNAL. 375. VIEW IN CAB OF MALLET COMPOUND LOCOMOTIVE—GREAT NORTH-ERN RAILWAY. The receiver pipe is supported at several points by angle-iron loops hung from the frame cross braces and by the ver-tical frame stiffening plate placed just back of the rear pedes-tals of the front group, through which it passes. The low-pressure cylinders join at the center line of theengine, and the exhaust is carriedto the front end by a pipe having aball joint at either end and a slipjoint in the center, the detail ofwhich is shown herewith. Special attention was given inthe cylinder castings to separatingthe entering and the exhaust steampassages by an air space at allpoints. Balanced slide valves areused on both cylinders, both oper-ated from the Walschaert type ofvalve gear. The receiver pipe isvery heavily lagged, as is also theexhaust connection. The oil pipeconnections to the low-pressure cyl-inders have several turns of largeradius, making a flexible connectionto allow for a considerable move-ment relativ
