A small auxil-iary burner at the rear wall of the ash pan serves asan igniter while the locomotive is stationary or whencoasting, and is intended to make up for the radiationlosses of the boiler, and supplying steam for the air pump,so that the main burner need not be called upon in such. -■■^cagtimniiiiipiuiim^m^jBa New Pulverized Fuel Burning Locomotive in Service on the German Railways ing satisfactory results on the German Railways. In1924 the Company began experiments with pulverizedfuel using a standard boiler such as is used on the freighttrain locomotives on the German Railways. The boiler by theautumn of 1926 had given sufficiently satisfactory results towarrant the working out of a design for a pulverized-fuel locomotive. The test showed an increase of boilerefficiency from 52 per cent with normal firing to percent with pulverized fuel, and with an hourly load on theheating surface of 70 kg. per square meter of associated with combustion and the productionof slag were overcome by selecting convenient nozzles forsubdividing the pulverized fuel. Particularly satisfactoryresults were obtained in connection with pulverized lignite,t
