Journal PIPING TO ENGINE November 7, 1903.] STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. 847 temperatures, including the arrangement of packing for pistonrod and valve stems, construction of the piston and its packingand the design of the cylinder. The principal feature of the engine, however, is the inter-mediate receiver, which has two functions; namely, to dry andsuperheat the steam passing from the high-pressure cylinderto the low, and to remove a portion of the superheat from thehigh-pressure cylinder, and give it up to the low-pressurecylinder. By this means the temperature in the high-pressurecylinder is kept down to a point which does not cause troublefrom the defective lubrication or otherwise, and the tempera-ture in the low-pressure cylinder being correspondingly raised,the efficiency of this cylinder is very much increased. To thisend the main steam line is brought to the intermediate re-ceiver before going to the high-pressure cylinder, and the re-ceiver is provided with a valve wh
