With this arrangement only onereverse shaft is necessary, and the linkblocks are down when in forward is an advantage, as the slippingof the blocks is reduced to a the large cast steel detailsused in these engines may be men-tioned the frames, mud rings, crossheads, driving boxes and driving-wheelcenters. The latter are fitted withbrass hub liners. The two leadingpairs of driving wheels are equalizedwith the engine truck, which isequipped with a swing bolster hung onthree point suspension links. Themain and rear pair of driving wheelsare equalized through beams placedover the boxes. The frames havedouble front rails and the pedestalbinders are lugged and bolted to thepedestals.

The barrel isfitted with a J^-in. connection for rubberhose, so that water may be supplied to, orreleased from, the jack, no matter underwhat track the carrying truck may valves control the inflow and therelease of water. The plunger having adiameter of 15 ins. has a circular base sq. ins. and water at a pressureof from 150 to 200 lbs. per sq. in. wouldsupport a weight in round numbers offrom about 13 to 17 tons. This useful shop device is in every waya justification of the remarks made byMr. Fay, which we quoted at the begin-ning of this article, for the design of thisdrop table and the details which havebeen worked out show that the wholesubject has been carefully studied andthat safety, strength, and durability havebeen w
