The consolidation shown on this pagewas built by the Baldwin LocomotiveWorks for the Baltimore & Ohio South-western. It is a powerful, well-designedengine, the cylinders being 21 x 28 inches,and the driving wheels 56 inches diameteroutside the tires. The boiler is straight,66 inches diameter, made of n-i6 inchsteel, and is designed to carry a workingsteam pressure of 190 pounds. There are2, square feet of heating surface, square feet of grate area. The en-gine in working order weighs 158,000pounds, of which pounds rest ondrivers. The tractive power is 35,600pounds, and the ratio of adhesion B.\LDWIN CONSOLIDATION FOR B.\LTIM0RE & OHIO SOUTHWESTERN. it in. If it is a clinker, lose no time iiiloosening it from the grates, breaking itup fine or taking it out entirely at the firstopportunity. If the fire is banked at theblack spot, level it off with a slash bar, orbetter still, put all your coal at otherpoints in the box so as to burn out thebank. This is very apt to happen withfine coal. If the black spot is a hole inthe fire where the coal has burned out,get a scoop of coarse coal in there quickly,so it will stop the rush of coldair through the hole as well ashave a supply of coal burning on that partof the grate. An attentive, observant fire-man does not have to fire very long beforehe can tell the cause of the black spot. Asthe engine burns the coal continuously,the fire should be fed in the same manner,not with four to six scoops at a time, thenwaiting till it burns down and loading inano
