Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . s Es j t 3-=™, :ZQ New. 2%- t Ouides/ and Cylindersmovedin c-> on each jide Tandem Main Rod Drive Compared With the Conventional Type possible when cylinder centers change with differentdesign. Still another very important point in this arrangementis the manner in which it lends itself to a constructioninvolving a unitary engine machinery support. Thissingle casting incorporates the cylinder saddles, bumperbracket, deck casting, and front frame filling, togetherwith integral valve gear and guide supports. It providesan unusually fine bolting connection to the main framesahead of the first driver and is also bolted to the smoke-box at the saddle in the usual way. One of the drawings of the unitary machinery supportshows the application of these principles to a 4-6-4 typelocomotive. It clearly shows how the arrangement pro-vides for a rigid integral support for the guides and thevalve motion. It hardly needs any discussion in detail toshow the desirability of a solid support for the guideswhich will insure
