The Committee, recom-mended the use of a fillet in all cornersof piston valve bushing ports with a Yi as the standard. The arrangementof piston valve bull ring and packingrings in most common use is shown inFig. 1. In regard to piston packing rings onsuperheater locomotives on 34 roads re-ported from, 28 were using Hunt-Spiller iron and 6 cast iron. The limited dataat hand was such that at the present timeno recommendation was made as to theadvantage of either, but sketches werefurnished of some designs of rings ofwhich Fig. 2 seemed to be among the mostpopular. The Committee included Jos. Chidley,chairman, H. T. Bentley, C. F. Giles, Callaway, L. A. Richardson, G. , and W. D. Robb. Design and Maintenance of LocomotiveBoilers.
