This illustration shows a new type of inspection car, knownas Model No. 2, tonneau car.

Thetonneau may be removed and replaced by a platform, to carrymen and tools for ordinary repair work. This car Is driven oiled by the drip which it catches from the other end. Nodifficulty has been experienced in catching the oil thrown offof the eccentric strap and the splash from the crosshead hasbeen equally easy to take care of, the outside of the enginebeing entirely free from oil. The large base affords a goodopportunity to cool and settle the oil; a portion of it as itdrops back into the bottom of the frame drops into an oil engine was subject to severe test and experiment for two.
