. The Street railway journal . TWO-AXLE STEAM MOTOR CAR FOR THE ARADER & CSNADER UNITED RAILWAYS. NARROW GAGE STEAM MOTOR CAR OF 35-HP CAPACITY USED ON THEALFOLDER RAILWAY switch suffices to convert the motor to a twin steam en-gine. The motor is installed in a dust-proof cast-iron casing,which also serves as a receptacle for the oil whichcontinuously lubricates the motor. The first supply ofoil is usually about 20 kg (44 lbs.), and the monthly renewalsabout 5 kg to 6 kg (10 lbs. to 12 lbs.). The motor cylinders arelubricated separately by a pressure pump. The motor is so count of cleanliness.

The motor is so count of cleanliness. The boilers are also madewith interchangeable parts and can be quicklyremoved for inspection. It has been found that with this system theaverage fuel consumption is kg to 3 kg perkilometer ( 5 lbs. to 10 lbs. per mile) with sin-gle-motor cars, and kg to 4 kg per kilometer( lbs. to lbs: per mile) with double-motor cars. The single-motor cars carry about12 liters ( gals.) of water, and the doublecars about 24 liters ( gals.) for trips cover-ing 60 kg to 70 kg (36 mile
