In order to havethe shoe constantly against the wheel, a second connectionis provided, one end of which may be attached to any con-venient stationary part of the locomotive. There is a springand a jam nut on this connection which is adjusted to givepressure between the wheel and the shoe face.

The carbonized portion is removed from thewaste driving box grease cakes, and, instead of being thrownout, is saved for use in the flange lubricator. FASTENING GROSSHEAD SHOES A crosshead which does away with reamed holes and fittedbolts to hold the shoes in place is shown in the an arrangement allows the free interchange of shoeson locomotives of similar classes, a condition that may mean Hunf,Spil/er Qun /ron Shoe.
