But, at best, theres a large unknownconstant, which, both in the loaded andlight engines record, should first be de-ducted, before the fuel actually charge-able to wind and other resistance is found. The wind resistance at 16^2 miles perhour is not great when figured in horse-power, even against the large surfaceprojected into the wind by a for the pneumatic-tired,Pony-trucked, single-drivered tyro on abicycle, he is not a horse, nor possessesmore than a wee fraction of the rather toopowerful mechanical horse-power, andhe is likely, even proportionately, to suffer Saddle Thrust BraceParallel Pieces >^^f.

The usual ways of boring out cylindersin the average railroad shops are veryslow, sometimes taking several days. Thisbar reduces the time for such work fromdays to hours. The tool is easy to adjust,takes any spread of cylinders, and there isno need of taking off pilot sill, deck norarch braces, as is usually necessary whenusing other boring bars. It is very steadyand rigid, and does not chatter. Poweris limited to the strength of the cuttingtools, and can be operated by either air,electric motors or power. It can be built slowest, not on account of heavy train,but demoralization of wires by wind andice, so that we spent a large part of ourtime on side tracks. This sugges
