Q. 35—What do you disconnect, take New Locomotive Boiler. A Pittsburgh man has invented a newstyle of locomotive boiler from which heexpects great things. His device is afterthe Belpaire type, but has radical depart-ures from present designs. He proposesto introduce perpendicular tubes withopenings above the fire, and these are toconnect with larger horizontal tubes run-ning through the barrel to the smokebox will not be one-half aslarge as the smokeboxes in use. Theinventor claims that his device will returnmuch of the unconsumed sparks and gases,or keep these near the fire long enough tobe burned, and that by having larger tubesin the barrel connecting with them thesteaming power will be improved. He hasexperimented with a small boiler of thetype and obtained astonishing results. He. LOCOMOTIVE, IVIE OF 1S5O. Published through the courtesy of the Passenger Department of Boston & Maine R. R. off. and block in case of a broken eccen-tric strap? A.—Take off both eccentric straps onthat side, the top end of link to tumbling-shaft arm, and link hanger so it will nottumble over and interfere with reversingengine; place valve to cover steam ports,clamp valve stem so valve cannot move,disconnect main rod. and block cross-head. Q. 36—Can an engine be worked aheadto a station, with a full train, if back-motion strap is broken? A.—Yes, if worked in full gear aheadand bottom end of link fastened so it can-not swing back and forth when force ofeccentric rod comes on the top end oflink. This can be done by fastening bot-tom of link to some part of engine bothfront and back, or you can take the back-up rod off the broken strap and fasten itby a bolt through forward strap
