The cylinder cocks were ofthe old, independent kind—fireman hadto run around the engine and close themup after the engine was in motion. The 6-wheeled truck was pivoted tothe boiler so far back that it carriedmost of the weight, making the enginevery deficient in adhesion and prone toget off the track. The center pair ofwheels were without flanges. The pe-culiar plan of arranging the truck springsis shown in Fig. 46, and seems to havesome advantages over modern devices. To the younger generation, the valvemotion (Fig. 45) will seem com-plicated; the two wheel eccentricswere located inside the wheel andoperated the large hooks, shownwith the curved lifting rod.
