TheV-dcflcctor, although directly below andshielding the roof truss lower flange, iscarried nn a pair of angle irons attach- a coin-in-the-slot machine. At the anglewhere the roof slopes down from thewalls of the smoke duct, there is neces-sarily a sort of pocket formed where, ifby any chance, smoke, steam or heatgot into the train shed, would avoid even this somewhat remote.

This ar-rangement was made so as to secure aconvenient attachment for the cast ironV-deflector, and should it be necessaryat any time to replace the deflector, verylittle of the concrete smoke duct wouldhave to be disturbed, while had the con-nection been made to the steel rib of theroof truss it is evident that much more ofthe concrete would have to be a matter of fact, the deflector beingof cast iron will not be as readily af-fected by the engine gases, as wouldhave been the case if made of steel orwrought iron, and the connection forthis deflector has been so made thatit ran readily be removed if this deflector became eaten up by theeffects of engine exhaust^ it would bea comparatively easy matter to connectanother trqugh of similar shape Furthermor
