This would bea decided difference in the size of thetrains. But if computed on the basis ofcoal and water used, it would mean 43per cent, more for one engineer than theother. This great difference would callthe attention of the officers at once, andthe lowest man would also have an inter-est in making a better showing. That iswhere a performance sheet comes inhandy.

The trucks are of a special locomotivetype, having wrought iron frames, tran-som and pedestals constructed in a verysimilar manner to those of locomotiveleading trucks. The boxes are providedwith regular locomotive driving each axle is mounted a single reduc-tion geared motor of the special slow-speed railway type made by the Westing-house Electric and Manufacturing Com-pany.
