Owing to thegreatly increasing demand of the sub-ject of internal combustion, the Lab-oratoiy has enlarged its equipmentby the addition of two such types ofengine, one an eighteen horse power 26 Merriam - Abbot gas engine and the other a twenty horse power Fairbanks-Morse& Co. engine, specially designed to burn kerosene. A Ridcr-Ericson hot-air puni])-ing engine has also been added to the Laboratory to afford in\ estigalion in thailine. The Laboratory of Strength of Materials is the official laljoratory of the Mas-ter Car Builders rVssociation, which association has deposited many valuable ])icccs of ap-paratus with us. During the past s]:)ring, apparatus was installed for the ])ur])oseof testing air brake hose and several hundred samples were tested from whose datavaluable
