It is simply necessarj to slip it onover the block until it rests on the face D, put in thevertical key to prevent it from turning on the block, andit is ready for the work to be done upon it. Air Pump Crane There have been a numl)er of devices brought out forthe handling of air pumps on and off of locomotives.

The crane used for doing this work wasdesigned and built at the Galion, Ohio, shops. It consists of two legs each 14 ft. 10 in. long rnade of3 in. by 4 in. pine with a cross bar of 3 in. by 6j4 in- o^-This cross bar has a block 3 ft. 3 in. long bolted to itslower side, whi
