Locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . f. loco/not/t^e£/7p/nec Compound Mogul F.\st Locomotive, \ Built .\t Altoox.\, P.\. one each of the fol-lowing compound sys-tems : Von B o r r i e s(the one shown), Gol-dorf, Pittsburgh andRichmond. Officials of the Penn-sylvania Railroad haveexperimented w i t hcompounds longenough to be convinced that there is some-thing in the system, and that the two-cyl-inder style of compound is most likely tofulfill their requirements. In the second place, they have had cour-age enough to put a big boiler over theaxle of a big wheel. It is believed b\-some of the ablest mechanics in the busi-. is shown in our engraving. This en-gine, 869, is the Von Borries compound,and while a very handsome engine in everyway, has some ear-marks of her own. The powers that be at Altoona always turnout something of their own. The most peculiar part of this locomo-tive is her valve motion. It can be seen 681 ployed, the link blockis pivoted to the endof a long,square block,sliding in a box orguide ahead of thelink ; this block trans-mits motion to the ver-tical rocker throughthe short, crooked,transmission barshown, this bar is supported on a padof cast iron with lubricating arrangementson it. This device may have its good andbad points, but just now its only advan-tage seems to consist in being different. Our outline sketch gives most of theprincipal sizes, the other dimensions,weights, etc., are as follows : Gage of track, 4 ft. 9 in. Cylinders, diameters, 20x29 in.; stroke,28 in. Spread of cylinders, S6 in. Diameter of drivers, 62 in. Total wheel-base of engine, 23 ft. 4 in. Total wheel-b
