LEACH E DOUBLE SANDER. Plate 27-shows the Leach E double sander asattached to the sand-box, with the pipe connectionsand sand trap located below the running board. Theplate also shows the adjustable nozzle with the check-valve. Plate 28 is a diagrammatic view of the LeachE sander as applied to the locomotive. It is lo-cated outside of the sand-box and accessible at alltimes for inspection or repairs when necessary. Theengineman and shopman can easily observe and un-derstand its operation and easily remedy any de-fects which may exist. The resistance of the volume ofsand which is always above the trap prevents the airpressure from escaping upward through the sand-box tothe atmosphere. Consequently a high pressure is avail-able through the discharge pipe for removing obstruc-tions at its lower end. The adjustable air nozzle used with this type ofsander can be so adjusted that it will regulate the amountof sand discharged to the rail.
