The latest engines which are described herewith were pro-posed in 1916 and have but recently been completed. Nineof them were built by the Swiss Locomotive and MachmeWorks, \^interthur, and by the Esslingen Works, thelatter working to the plans furnished by the Winterthurcompany. Three of these locomotives are equipped with theCaiUe-Potonie system of feedwater heating and two areequipp)ed the Titan dumping grate as used on the Hun-garian State Railways. These engines will exert a maximumtractive effort of kilograms (30,865 lb.); that Front Elevation and Cross Section they will handle a train of 200 metric tons on a jjer centgrade. The principal features of the new 0-10-0 type locomotiveare shown in the drawings. The boiler is the same as thatused on the 0-8-2 locomotive with the exception that it isprovided with a Schmidt superheater. The barrel of thetx)iler consists of two courses, has an inside diameter of1,230 mm. ( in.) and contains 64 tubes, 3,900 mm. (12ft. 93/2 in.) long and IS llues of the same length for thesuperheater elements. The tube and flue evaporating surfaceis h<\. m. (694 sq. ft.) and the .superheater elements havea heating surface of sq. m. (331 sq. ft.). The ,which is made of copper, has a heating surface of sq. m.(76 sq. ft.). The working pressure of the boiler is 14 at-mospheres (205 lb. per sq. in.). The firebox has a gratearea of sq. m. ( sq. ft.). The smoke box is pro-vided with a hopper, operated by u lever on the right handside of the engine, a
