To THE Editor: On page 707 of the November Railway Mechanical Engi-neer there is an article entitled Construction and Mainte-nance of Cinder Pits, describing and illustrating forms of. miighed at Du BoisUlSti. SECTION A-A-42^ ■>! U ijir^A-r/r^iyyilJJassJ^^ Cinder Grab Bucket Made with Cast Steel Ends, Tie Members andScissor Arms pits and apparatus for handling cinders, as employed by anumber of railroads. Fig. 4, page 708, describes a type of pit employed by theBuffalo, Rochester 5: Pittsburgh. When first put in servicethe buckets used with this arrangement were constructed ofrolled shapes, plates and forgings, and the rapidity vnthwhich they were destroyed on account of the hot ashes andthe resultant warping and corrosion was rather alarming. With a view to prolonging the life of the buckets, a designwas prepared and buckets built having cast steel ends, caststeel tie members and cast steel scissor arms. The accom-panying drawing illustrates the buckets now used from whichlong service is obtained at a small cost for upkeep. WiLLL^M J. Knox, Mechanical Engineer, B. R. & P.
