The first of these may be the checkingof the angle between the cylinder and the crank shaft center may easily be done by turning the shaft to the two positionsshown in Fig. 9 and making the indicated measurements. If thesedistances are the same the shaft is correctly located. If not, the out-board bearing should be shifted in the proper direction to make themequal. The cross-head, piston and piston rod should now be placed inposition and adjustments made to align these parts. To do this therod is connected to the cross-head while the parts are in the positionshown in Fig. 9. The cross-head is then adjusted by means of theshoes at top and at bottom, until the rod is parallel to the slide. In. I92I.] THE LOCOMOTIVE, 207
