A Turntable of Unique Design p. R. R. Develops Adjustable Center, SupportsTable at Three Points and Puts Tractor at Each End A CENTER bearing, adjustable vertically over a rangeof 1 in. by means of screw operated wedges, is oneof the main features in the 1 lO-ft. turntable re-centlv designed by the Pennsylvania Railroad and now beinginstalled at several of its more important engine vertical adjustment has permitted the development of. The Center Is Adjustable By Means of Screw Operated Wedges plans for tables of the three-point supported type, the designof which includes many other novel and interesting featuresand avoids the use of the usual balanced type with its ob-jectionable features, particularly in tables of such The 110-ft. tables were designed in anticipation of the base of 97 ft. 3-}4 in., an over-all length of 105 ft. in.,and an estimated weight of 555,000 lb., exclusive of thetanks, which weigh 219,000 lb., or a total weight completeof 774,000 lb. Owing to the extreme depth of girder re-quired for a balanced table of such great length and furtherbecause of the conditions under which a turntable mustoperate, in which it is difficult to spot a locomotive of this sizeand weight with any degree of accuracy, it seemed inadvisableto builda table of the usual balanced type. Furthermore, thetendency of all balanced t)pe tables to teeter has an un-desirable ef
