The working pressure is 200lbs. per sq, in,, and 4 spring safety valvesare provided, inclosed in the circular cas-ing above the fire-box. The weight ofthe engine in working order, as shown,is 165,800 pounds, or greater than that ofthe average British goods engine andtender combined. The tender, whichruns on two four-wheeled trucks, carries6 tons (2,240 lbs. per ton) of coal imp. gallons of water.
