It was also thought desirable 65,000 pounds with a five per cent, mar-gin for scale variations and the dynam-ic augment of the unbalanced recipro-cating parts at 70 m. p. h. is limited tothirty per cent, of the weight on thedrivers, it was necessary to keep thelocomotives within restricted limits andmake the revolving and reciprocatingparts as light as possible and at thesame time maintain the necessary sufficient clearance for the rear drivingwheels, the clearance being close atthis point, particularly with the Pacifictype locomotive. The practice of flang-ing the neck sheet and the barrel sheetin one piece has been followed on quitea number of the modern locomotives,also that of flanging the dome in onepiece has been used to quite an boilers of the L-l-s and the. PACIFIC 4-6-2 TYPE LOCOMOTIVE FOR PENNSYLVANIA to experiment with a very heavy Pa-cific type locomotive for passengerservice on this same division. Withthis object in view a Mikado locomo-tive, which will bear Pennsylvania Rail-road classification L-l-s, and a Pa-cific type locomotive, which will bearPennsylvania Railroad classificationK-4-s, have been developed. The strength. Further, it was found desir-able to maintain as many parts as pos-sible interchangeable in these twotypes of locomotives and to use asmany parts as possible which are em-bodied in the design of the E-6-s loco-motives. The following are interesting fea-tures in the designs: RAILROAD. Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Builders. K-4-s locomotives are interchange-able. The locomotives are equipped withall-steel cabs, which are considerablysmaller than the standard type of cabused on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Onaccoun
