A relief valve is provided to prevent excessof pressure. This compressed air is fed into a superheater ofpractically the Pielock design, except that it is located in thefront end and adjacent to the front flue sheet, the boiler tubesbeing extended to pass through it. The steam from the dry pipi enters near the i point a the air and in passing-through tin baffles of the superheater they are thoroughly mixed UNDERFRAME OF STEEL SUBURBAN CARS FOR THE LONG ISLAND RAILROAD. the sliding type, the vestibule doors being operated by the guardstanding on the buffers between the cars. A trap door and stepare provided for use where there are no raised platforms. The trucks are of special design and are arranged for the easyinstallation of motors. They were fully illustrated and describedon page 237 of the June, 1907, issu? of this journal. The trucksunder these cars differ from those illustrated in having quad-ruple instead of sextuple elliptical springs under the have 36-in. wheels and a --ft. wheel base. The cars have a length of 54 ft. 1% in. over the body and 64ft. 5-34 in. over buffers. They weigh 77,100 lbs., which, of course,is without any electric equipment.
