. Locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . ratchet wrench operative in eitherdirection. It was built in the tool roomof the Sayre shops of the L. V. R.

The cap plate is lockedin place by means of three lugs or pro-jections fitting into corresponding recessesin the upper face of the body, but in sucha position that these parts do not coincidewhen the plate is in its proper place. Alip or flange on the top face of the bodyprevents any upward action on the plate,and a cap screw holds it laterally. The arrangement to prevent the capscrew from backing out, consists of a nuton the bottom, and in addition to this, thescrew itself is put into the body at a tightfit, and these two features in combinationprevent any tendency to movement in thescrew. The beauty of this wrench lies inits lightness, and the accessibility of itsparts when the cap plate is removed. We understand that the WestinghouseElectric & Manufacturing Company areabout to resume the work of developing CAP PLATE. ARRANGEMENTTO PREVENT LOSS OFCAP SCREW REVERSIBLE RATCHET WRENCH. Fritz got one of them and had the ma-terial analyzed. Specimens were sent toan expert chemist, who made the usary tests and found that the rails con-tained .12 of phosphorus, being six times the Westinghouse-Baldwin variety of experiments with this formof engine were made several months ago,but were suspended, owing to the depres-sion of business. LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. II) Compressed-Air Locomotives. Among the most promising uses tor compressed air for the transmissi i powei is that of locomotives working inplaces where the gases oi fuel combustionare objectionable, and for places whereinflammable materials are liable to takefire from sparks thrown by ordinary loco-motives. Of late, ll. K. Porter & Co.,Pittsburgh, have received orders for theconstruction of numerous locomotives tobe operated by compressed air. The six-wh
