. Railway mechanical engineer . Lubricator Arrangement as Applied to the Journals of Main Driving Wheels pace with other improvements in equipment design.

Contraryto the usual experience with car journals, locomotive drivingjournals lubricated with hard grease seldom become hot (atleast hot enough to cut or score). This is because main bear-ings receive the personal attention of enginemen, and hard should be delivered at all times and in a predetermined quan-tity regardless of atmospheric conditions by positive, reliable,mechanical means. Lubricators designed to accomplish these results havebeen developed by the Hennessy Lubricator Company, NewYork, being made in four styles for use with locomotivetrailer, driver and truck wheels; also car wheels. Advan-tages claimed for these lubricators are that they are cheap,.
