Taken as a wholeit makes an ash pan more nearly inde-structible than the built-up type, does notget out of shape, and is therefore these advantages supplemented by aless cost than for the old style of pan, Mas-ter Mehanic Tongue is satisfied that it isthe cheapest pan from every point of view. There has probably been no one repre-hensible practice in locomotive work anymore persistently followed than that ofmaking thin, warpy ash pans, which arealways getting out of shape and leaky asa riddle. The solid pan defies every at-tempt on its integrity and remains squareunder all circumstances. Four New Devices For Locomotive Engineers. The Q. & C. Priest Snow Ranger. Operating by air. under full control ofengineer, and with perfect safety. Con-forms to irregularities in track, giving uni-form results either on curves or remove snow and ice from feet deep, preserving full tractivepower of engine, dispensing with snowplow, and pulling full train. Does not^re-move torpedoes; not unsightly; out of theway. Pneumatic Cylinder Cock Controller. A new device for automatically notify-ing the engineer that the pressure in brakesystem is getting low; also for prevent-ing cylinders from bursting by freezing,and decreasing liability of locomotivesstarting off on account of leaky throttle. McKee Brake Slack Adjuster. For automatic adjustment of slack andcontrol of piston travel in brake gear, in-suring accurate movement and positive-ness of operations under all conditions.
