Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . d tlie drawbar-pull of anygross weight of car at each location ofcar in train, thereby making proper al-lowance to engine when heavy cars areplaced at the rear and light cars at thelicad end of train—in addition to auto-matically reducing the gross tons to<lrawbar-pull. Plate (C) represents end view show-ing at top the tonnage numeral wheels,and at the bottom the wheel which re-cords the total number of cars in trainand changes the position of cams atpre-determined intervals—every tenthor fifth car as desired. This machine is intended for use inthe office of the yard master where way-bills are kept, and the tonnage to becomputed on machine by the clerk—amachine to be placed at ends of alltiain districts and at important inter-mediate filling-out stations, in order tonot only adjust correctly the drawbar-pull of trains, but to take away fromthe trainmen the work of computingtheir tonnage and avoid all chance forerror and light loading, which is invari-ably the case at We often get letters approving of tliestand taken by \y and Locomo-tive Engineering, and sometimes we getletters where criticism of our opinionsis the dominant note, but we lately hadthe pleasure of seeing a man who cameto the office to personally thank ourchief editor, Mr. Angus Sinclair, forthe stand he had taken at the last M. regarding the status of therailroad fireman. Among the remarkswhich were made on that occasion werethese, which seemed to strike a respon-sive chord in the heart of our Sinclair said: Everytliing oughtto be done to help that man (the loco-motive fireman) so there should be nounnecessary increase of labor laid uponhim.
