About six months ago there were twoof our engines on the Chicago & EasternIllinois road equipped with Sweney ex-haust nozzles. One of the engines was aPittsburgh mastodon, 21 x 26-inch cylin-ders; the other an eight-wheel Schenec-tady passenger engine, with dimensions asfollows: Cylinders—18 x 24 inches. Driving wheels—66 inches. Straight boiler—60 inches diameter. Firebox—Length, 108 inches; width,32^ inches. Tubes—Number, 217; diameter, 2 inches;length over tube sheets, 11 feet. Total heating surface, 1, squareinches. After a great deal of argument over thequalities of the new nozzle and its superi-.

It was agreed that each front end wasto make five round trips on the evapora-tive test, and then was to make onetrip with the indicator. The Sweney wasalready in the engine, and was set to userun-of-mine coal. She had been steamingremarkably well, and was put into the testwithout any change whatever being madein the front end. At the instance of the locomotive de-partment, screened lump coal was specifiedfor the test. Engineer C. L. Cole andFireman Landis were placed in charge ofthe engine. Mr. Harry Crull, assisted byMr. Elmer Owens, represented the G. R. Smith looked after the interestsof the Sweney nozzle. The principle ofthe Sweney exhaust lies in its a
