The engine has cylinders 19 x 24 inches,and driving wheels 76 inches. The boileipressure is 180 pounds per square by the Master Mechanics Asso-ciation formula for traction, which allows85 per cent, of the boiler pressure, thisengine can exert a tractive force of 13,698pounds, and has a co-efficient of adhesionof , the weight on drivers being 90,250pounds. The steam passages and ports The total weight of the engine is 133,-550 pounds, 90,250 of that being upon thedrivers and 43,300 resting on the total wheel base is 23 feet 5J4 inches,the rigid wheel base being 8 feet 6 inches. As will be seen by the engravings, theboiler is of the extended wagon-top kind,designed for burning anthracite coal;
