It uses saturated steam, and isequipped with balanced slide valves andStephenson link motion. The main rod isconnected to the third pair of driving-wheels. Cast steel is used for the wheelcenters and boxes. The boiler is of thestraight top type, with a long fireboxplaced above the frames. The cab is ofsteel, with large side windows and roomydeck. The tank has a straight top, but iscomparatively long and low. thus giving. wiTciir:!; tor the worth ro^rp,\^y. ing the locomotives. These engines areoften required to remain almost con-tinuously in service with a minimumamount of attention and repairs; hencestrong, simple designs with accessilileparts, are to be preferred. The accompanying illustrations repre-sent two locomotives, recently built byThe Baldwin Locomotive Works for ser-vice in and aljout steel plants. The four-coupled switcher for Worth Brothers one of three, built for a track gauge of2 ft. 6 ins. The height and width limitsarc 7 ft. 9 ins. and 6 ft. 8 ins., respec-tively. With these limitations an effec-tive design of locomotive has been workedout, developing a tractive force of *, and weighing 57,600 pounds. Asthe jiihcd-basc is short, the locomotivecan easily traverse sharp curves. For an engine f this capacity, the pis-ton stroke is short and the driving-wheels Boiler, diameter, 44 ins.
