Below the cab floor there are two6 in. cylinders, each fitted with a double piston having a slot inits center into which extends, through an opening in the side ofthe cylinder, one end of the rocker arm connected through alink to an arm loosely carried on the shaft. Around the upperend of this rocker arm is a L-shaped forging, having a squarefit on the shaft and provided with a key, which passes throughan opening in the loosely supported arm. Thus when more thanone section of the grates are to be shaken by hand the pinsfrom the power operating gear are removed and the caps putover the tops of such sections as it is de-sired to shake and the whole arm is oscil-lated by hand. When the power gear isused the pins are inserted and the cylindersoscillate the shaft, shaking such sectionsof the grates as are desired. The controlof the shaking apparatus is located in adouble valve witli two operating levers,whic
