The arrangement of connecting rods between the motorsand the driving wheels is well illustrated in the jackshafts, 10 in. in diameter and supported in bear-ings rigidly fixed in the locomotive frames, extend acrossthe frames outside of the end driving wheels. Quarteredcrank arms are shrunk and keyed on both ends of thesejackshafts and similar crank arms are attached with flex-ible couplings to both ends of each motor armature connecting rods extend from each motor crank armto the corresponding jackshaft crank. To the same crankpins on the jackshafts are connected the driving-wheelside rods. For each revolution of the motor armatures,therefore, the driving wheels make one complete revolu-tion and the two motors revolve in exact unison, due to themechanical connection through the driving-wheel side object of inserting the jackshaft as an intermediateconnection between the motors on top of the frames and.
