France has given to the world a fairshare of the freaks designed to send theordinary forms of locomotives premature-ly to the scrapheap, and, incidentally, todemonstrate what amateur designerscould do in wandering away from welltrodden paths of engineering FIG. 21. HEILMANN In the first place the grate surface andthe size of the fire box were not equal tothe demands on the boiler, and no ad-justment of the front end or exhaust ap-pliances was equal to taking care of thedemands on the boilers. You will remember that one of thefeatures of this engine was that the fluesheet extended into the fire box. In otherwords, it was a combustion chamber re-versed, and it was found in practice thatall of the grate surface under this pro-jecting portion of the cylinder part ofthe boiler would not burn the coal, conse-quently the grate surface was cut downto the limited amount that was between ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE,leans Gallic sentiment leans kindly to thingsthat look new.
