Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . shown in Fig. 65, pat- For an Engine step in the direction of tech-nical education has been made in thecity of Dresden in the establishmentof a school for locomotive driver ap-prentices. The initiative was taken bythe Locomotive Drivers Associationof Saxony, which succeeded in inter-esting the members of the DresdenCity Council in the scheme, as well asthe directors of the technical schooland the administration of the RoyalState Railroads. The school is for ap-prentices between twenty-five and thir-ty years of age who are employed inthe Dresden car shops. Among thesubjects taught are German, arithmetic,graphics and the mechanism of loco-motives. In an article published in a scientificjournal in 1845 advocating the instruc-tion of drawing for mechanics, the ar-gument is made that learning the artof delineation raises the minds of menabove low vice and degrading amuse-ments. On that account the peoplesrules are enjoined to provide increasedfacilities for teaching HEADS FIRE BOX. FIG. 63. entcd by S. H. Head, of Boston, in 1859,and applied to engines on the FilchburgRailroad. As will be seen by the en-graving, it had a mid feather cuttingthe fire box in two longitudinally with in-dependent fire door grates and ash panfor each side. There was a short com-bustion chamber with a damper, K, whichcould be operated to close one side ofthe fire box. The idea was to close theside of the box when firing was goingon, so that the products of combustionhad to go around the mid feather. Itwas a pretty scheme in the estimation ofthe inventor and gave the fire gases along journey, but somehow railroad mas-ter mechanics generally thought itcalled for too much manipulating.
