Utilizing Tender to Increase Tractive PowerEnables Locomotives to Haul Heavier Trains DURING the past two years there has been developedon the Delaware & Hudson a booster designed forapplication on the tender trucks. The basic prin-ciples underlying this development were: First, to utilizeas a source of revenue tractive power at moderate speed the. nearly constant tractive force at the tender draw bar duringsuccessive revolutions of the locomotive. The developmentof the tender truck booster has now progressed sufficiently toprove that these objectives have been attained. The tender booster, which has been patented jointly by]. A. McGrew, general superintendent of equipment and wayand T- T. Loree, general manager, comprises a four-wheeltruck fitted with side rods and a reciprocating steam engine,arranged to drive one of the axles. The engine which sup-plies tlie motive force for the booster is shown in Fig. 1.
