That the Mallett locomotive. fWO-CYLINDEB ENGINE GEARED ToTHE TRAILER AXLE has such a provision in its adaptability touse steam at a high pressure in all of itscylinders when necessary and to use itscompounding appliances when on a level,straight track is its chief advantage. Itscost, however, is a matter of serious con-sideration in these days of multiplyingprices of material and fuel. The lightdetachable booster-motor will, to a con-siderable extent, obviate the clement ofhigh cost. the engineer hooks up the reverse capitalizes idle weight and spare steamwith negligible addition to the weight ofthe locomotive, and without increased de-mands on the cngineman. Its control issemi-automatic, giving the cngineman max-imum resource and a negligible minimumof attention to its operation. Locomotives recently built employweights bordering on the limit the trackstructure will bear. Vet their speed-pullcurves nearly Coincide with those of light-er engines of the same type.
