This statement can be made withcertainty, for the reason that there are now available com-parisons between tandem main rod drives and the ordinaryrod drives operating under similar and withthe same cylinder cross-centers. These comparisons showa decided improvement with the tandem main rod con-struction in maintenance of both the rods and the drivingboxes. It is evident that a very much more substantial connec-.
