Inthe Northern Central (now a division olthe Pennsylvania system) roundhouse atElinira, they reverse the operation andcarry the tester to the locomotive. Theyhave a line running to nearly everystall, with a drop pipe between the tracks,to which the Kue Little Giant boilertester is coupled as shown. This ismounted on a truck and carried to anydesired track to be used. The idea is a good one, but there arcobjections. When steam is carried anygreat distance, it is sure to condense, evenlliough covered by insulation, as in thiscase, and wet steam isnt a good thing forany injector, but is particularly bad for aspecial instrument such as is necessary. PORTABLE BOILER TESTER. tor this work. In this particular case thepipe is a little small also; but the schemeis a good one, and with better provisionsfor dry steam and plenty of it, there willbe little difficulty in carrying out the idea. An Erie engineer, Mr. Arthur OHara,has invented a car brake that exerts itsretarding effect through friction of thebrake shoes on top, or top and sides ofrcil. through a system of levers carriedon the truck frame. We are frequently moved to exclaimWhat is fame? when the name of somecelebrated man is misspelled. All theworld has heard of James Watt, the famousimprover of the steam engine. One ofnur contemporaries recently published anitem saying that a certain professor of en-gineering had delivered a lecture on JamesWatts.
