Auxiliary equipment includes a gasoline-engine drivenair compressor; three high pressure air storage tanks tobe used for starting the oil-engines; a water heater andexpansion chamber to keep the cooling water from freez-ing when the engines are not operating and for heatingthe operators compartments; four fin type radiators of2,400 square feet total surface on the roof for coolingwater from the engine; exhaust pipes and mufflers oneach oil engine; and water tanks in the cab into whichthe water may be drained in the winter when
