None of these schemes is entirely satisfactory, as, in the. Fig. 3—Moore Type Car Arranged for Heating the Lading heating is simple in construction and may safely be oper-ated by inexperienced men. The coal used in the stove iscarried In the coal box directly alongside of the stove. Peacoal has I ecu found to give the best results, although anykind of fuel can be used in case of necessity. Results oftests with this type of car used as a heater have shown thata uniform temperature can be maintained throughout thecar, and that the air in the car is maintained in a partic-ularly dear and pure state. The heater car has been madestandard on three prominent roads operating in the North- first case, the lubrication of the steam cylinder of the airpump is placed in the hands of the engine crew, with thenatural result that oil is fed continuously, regardless of theamount of work which the pump is doing. This objectionapplies also to the third scheme. The second scheme is open to the objection, and it is aserious one on heavy freight power, that lubri
