. Locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . hite by therailroad companies will mean a very pro-nounced saving in oil, in wear, in repairsand in train detentions. We quote the following from a letter justreceived from an engineer of the B. & R. I wish to say, in regard to graphite,that I am able by a careful use of it in con-nection with locomotive valve and cylin-der lubrication, to increase mileage madeper pint of Perfection valve oil from150 miles without graphite to 230 mileswith graphite—other conditions identicallythe same. On June 14. 1896. I pulled a specialtrain of California delegates to the Repub-lican Convention at St. Louis, over one ofour division, making an exceptional run,which was to a considerable extent due tothe systematic use of Dixons Pure FlakeGraphite. The engine actually surprised me onthis trip, as I did not think there was anysuch speed in the machine. For further evidence as to the value ofthis graphite, and for samples, address theJoseph Dixon Crucible Co., Jersey City, Boiler Injector. ^HIS is the only single tube Auto-matic, or Re-starting Injectorthat will start with 25 lbs. of steannand work up to 200 without trouble. It is a plain, heavy businessmachine—no small priming jets,pipes or valves. Only 24 pieces—less than halfthe usual number of parts. Detachable Conical Tube—theone that wears most — a new onecan be put in in five minutes. Simpler, lighter and the cheapestguaranteed Injector on the market. Cut down your road failures andrepair bills by using a solid instru-ment with no jimcracks to it. Less parts means less repairs,less first cost and less trouble. Stops and starts with one move-ment of lever, restarts if broken—you know that instrument is feed-ing if lever is back. fiiurantced! we win place this instrument on any boiler for trial,and if not entirely satisfactory willremove same free of all us show you what we can do.
