Locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . her into compound, it is thesame as hooking her up a notch or should be worked in compound allthe time, giving notches on a hill, thesame as simple engine, till notches are would necessitate taking out the valve toplug the other end. With the valve stembroken on the outside of valve, it wouldbe almost self-blocking. If the valve is broken in two at any ofthe bridges, the engine will drag or pro-long her exhaust on that side, which willbe more noticeable in switching with en-gine down in the corner. All that holdsthe pieces together then is the valve stem. A broken packing ring in piston valvewill be very hard to detect on account ofit not being prominent enough to be easilylocated. If a high-pressure piston rod breaks,engine would not have to be taken downon that side. Take off front head, orwhat pieces are left and remove up the hole where piston wentthrough and put on high-pressure head.(An extra high-pressure head should becarried.) Then when steam enters at one. CENTRAL RAILROAD OF NEW JERSEY TWELVE-WHEELER. grate area of square feet.

These engines are pulling trains of 3,000tons over a somewhat undulating division,and it is expected when the company geta full supply of their new steel 50-ton carsthat the engines will take trains of 4,000tons along without difficulty. Two fire-men are employed on each engine. Care of the Vauclain Compound. In running a Baldwin compound. lookfor loose rocker boxes before starting out,especially in a direct-motion engine. Adjust the poppet valves on the low-pressure cylinder so that they are not toolight. Examine large nuts on high-pres-sure piston rods. The low-pressure nuts■do not work loose readily. The fron
