In support of our criticism,we are pleased to quote the Electrical World, especially asregards the desirability of better transmission of power: It is not an uncommon sight to see a large generatingstation equipped with high-class steam machinery and striv-ing for the highest economy in operation by the use of elabor-ate steam-saving devices, condensers, economizers, etc., fur-nished with boiler-feed pumps, which consume about 150pounds of steam per horse-power hour. This is the kind ofeconomy that calls to mind a variety of proverbs, conspicuousamong them one concerning the spigot and the The Blacl< Diamond Steel Trucl<.—Tlie Bloomsburg Car IVIanufacturing Co. of tlic side frames, forms the connection between thetransoms and the side frames. This plate is riveted to thetransoms and to the Ts, as shown in the engraving. The side elevation shows the curved shape of the sideframe memljors wliich are bent at tlie boxes to radii of 6inches, and are secured to steel castings having ribs, thewobs being ^ inch thick. Those castings bear against andare riveted to the pedestal liners which are % inch thick andextend over the top of the spring seats, making an arch witha radius of 14 inches. These liners are carried to the bottomof the box openings forming the jaws, and they are securedunder the boxes by the tie pieces and boMs. The brakehanger brackets are shown in the engraving and It will benoticed that an I-beam brace. 12% inches long, is placedhorizontally across between the transom I-beams at the transoms are also
