During two round trips many readingswere taken while tin locomotive was inoperation. It will be noted, by referringto Figures 4 and 5 that with 2 inches ofwater showing in all glasses and onegauge of water in the column, the gaugecocks applied on the left side of the bad water districts, on approximatelylevel track and while handling regulartonnage. The locomotive oil which these testswere made was of the heavy 2-8-2 type,equipped with superheater and Duplexstoker, using bituminous coal for fuel. Theboiler had a sloping back head, with fire-box equipped with brick arch supported. FIG. indicates outline ofregistered in all watercaiine with boiler at hi water whenglasses whenchest part of boiler head in the usual manner indicatedfull water, while No. 1 tube indicatedstrong flutter at a 12-in. adjustment, tube indicated a strong flutter at a 9J4-in. adjustment, and No. 3 tube showed anoccasional flutter at the back head, show-ing a rise of water at the back head ofapproximately 9 in. above that being reg-istered by the water glasses or existingfurther ahead over the crown sheet. The dotted line in Figure 5 indicateswhat we believe to be the general outlineassumed by the water where it reachesa greater height on each side than at thevertical center line of the boiler. It wasfound, during these tests, that with thetop connection to the water column con-nected at its original position, the columnwould entirely fill when 4 or 5 in. ofwater was reached in t
