FIG. 2.—SECTIONAL END VIEW top, looking down on the lubricators in position in the journalbox. From Fig. i and Fig. 2 it is seen that these little ball-bearing lubricating wheels run in oil in the lower part of thejournal box. The oil is carried by capillary attraction on therims of the lubricating wheels to the car journal. The wheelsare held against the journal by a spring pressure. The wholeapparatus is easily taken apart without the removal of anybolts or screws. In connection with this lubricator it was necessary to devise a dust guard which would effectually close the spacearound the journal where it passes out of the box. The dustguard is shown in Fig. 4, and has two hard-fibre guards heldby springs against the journal, the springs being arrangedto provide for both vertical and horizontal movement. Thebottom of the journal box is filled with oil, which is prac-tically all returned after being used on the bearing. The dustguard and shape of the box near the dust guard are such
