The front end of thetirebox crown is supported on three rowsof Baldwin expansion stays, and there isa complete installation of flexible boltsin the water legs. The throttle valve isof the improved Rushton type, with aux-iliary drifting valve. It has a vertical motive is cross equalized in front, andthe equalization is divided on each side,between the second and third pairs ofdrivers. Special attention has been given the ar-rangement of the cab fittings, so that theengineman can easily handle the throttleand reverse levers, brake and sandervalves, etc., while keeping his head out ofthe cab window. A radial buffer is ap-plied between the engine and tender. Thelatter is carried on rolled steel wheels and. II. K. Thomson, Mast. Mech. eight-coupled engine (here illustrated)has recently been added to the locomotive is employed in haulinghot metal ladles. It develops a tractiveforce of 48,800 lbs., and as the totalweight is 221,700 lbs., the ratio of ad-hesion is This is a suitable ratiofor a locomotive which, such as this one,operates near industrial plants, where railconditions are often unfavorable. This engine is strictly modern in de-sign, as it uses superheated steam andis equipped with a brick arch, power op- EIGHT-WHEEL, SWITCHER FOR THE N. & S. 5. pipe of flattened cross section, so locatedthat the dome can be entered for inspec-tion purposes without dismantling thepiping. The steam distribution is controlled by12-inch piston valves, which are driven byWalschaerts motion. The driving tiresare of vanadium steel, and are allflanged, and flange oilers are applie
