By means ofthem the tool can be extended or shortened, being held in the de-sired position by the insertion of a J^-in. pin through a hole inthe outside pipe and one of the holes in the inside pipe. The holesin the outside pipes of the feed and drill extensions are shown atA and B respectively. A set of three of each of these tools, or six in all, fills all therequirements of drilling operations about a locomotive. Thelengths to be used are shown in Fig. 2, but one length being 579.

Fig. 4 shows one example of the use of the drill extension inthe operation of drilling the heel of a pilot, which is self explana-tory. This set of tools greatly facilitates the work of many drilling 580 RAILWAY AGE GAZETTE. MECHANICAL EDITION Vol, 89, No. 11 operations. Among these may be mentioned: Drilling across theframes; all inside fire box drilling; bumper beam plates; drilhngrunning boards in place; stay holts in throat shoots and holes inheels of pilots for pilot braces. PROTECTION OF IRON AND STEEL General BY J. W. [lan Locomotive Painters, Atciiison, Topelia & Santa Fe,Topelca, Kan. We must have some knowledge of the composition of a ma-terial and of the agencies that commonly enter into its destructionin order properly to protect it.
