Very large cylinders, the accountfurther states, while quite desirable in cases of great power being required atlow speed give unfavorable results at high speed. The above design, it isclaimed, enables its builders the dimensions of the cylinders to theconditions obtaining at high speed, while for low si)eed they bring into use anauxiliary engine, thus doubling their tractive power when needed, and exert-ing a great pull with early cut-off. The engine is claimed to jjerform satisfac-tory service. LOCOMOTIVES AND CARS. 147. Steam Snow Plow. The boiler operatingthe snow plow is in the car attached.
