. Railway master mechanic [microform] . Fig. 4—View of Erecting Shop—New Shops of the Rock Island System at East Moline, III. November, 1904. RAILWAY MASTER MECHANIC 459. Fig. 5—Cylinder Planer. New Shops of the Rock Island System at East Moline, III. for the boiler shop. Somewhat of a departure has beenmade in equipping the boiler shop as the hydraulic prin-ciple has been employed for nearly all of the punching,shearing, flanging and riveting machinery. The north bay has been devoted to belt driven boilershop tools at one end; there being no cranes to cover thislast bay. It will be noted that about 66 per cent of theboiler shop, 100 per cent of the erecting shop and 50 percent of the machine shop will have crane service, and insome bays a number of cranes will be operated in orderto cover the necessities. The space in the boiler shop side will also be used forvarious purposes, including a department for bolt cutting,including stay bolts, flue work for which considerableroom has been assigned. A Westmark Submerged FlueRattler with a capacity of 200 flues is to clean the flues;this method being deemed superior to the noisy, dirty,dry rattler process.
