A maximum tractive effort of 51,000 lb. was developed. SIDE-ROD LOCOMOTIVE 070. A side-rod locomotive was built in 1910 by the Westinghouse service on the New York Division. Specifications for the side-rod locomotive were the same as thosedetailed for the geared freight locomotive. The design is of the articulated double-cab type. Each half com-prises 2 pairs of driving wheels and 2 leading pony truck wheels, mountedon a forged frame of the locomotive type. Crankshafts are placed across.

Wheel base, 43 feet 6 inches. the side frames, and 57 inches ahead of the front driving axles, which carryon each end a crank arm and counterweight casting to which a motorcrankshaft above is connected by means of rods. The two drivers oneach side are coupled to the crankshaft crank pin by locomotive siderods of the ordinary type. The driving mechanism and frames are sim-ilar to those on Pennsylvania side-rod locomotives, already are single-phase. Two are used per locomotive. Withforced ventilation the one-hour rating of each is about 673 h. p. Theyare arranged for either alternating-current or direct-current motor may be operated separately. The motor shaft is 91 the r
