The waste is not now sogreat, but there is still a great deal ofoil wasted. For example, in the insideof valve chests and cylinders there areabout sixty square feet of non-bearing Emergency Coupling Nut for Preven-tion of Injector : A good percentage of locomotive fail-ures or delays at the roundhouse will befound due to stripped injector couplingnuts; the steam pipe coupling nuts to theinjector being in the majority of casesthe ones at fault. The above condition ofthese nuts is invariably discovered at atime when the engine has but little time 90 RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. March, 1913. for even hasty repairs before takin
