Railway and Locomotive Engineering . PYROMETER FOR INDICATING \TURES OF SUPERHEATED STEAM IN LOCOMOTIVE SERVICE. co:.siderabIe saving by reason of the in-crease of the actual working time of theengines while in service on account ofthe increased interval between the timenecessary to take coal and water, each ofwhich represents the loss of time not onlyin engines working in passenger terminalsin large cities, but, perhaps, more par-ticularly in switching engines. This classof engines operating under ordinary con-ditions using saturated steam have amarked tendency to work water, andsuffer heavy losses from cylinder con-densation. These condensation losses notuncommonly attain a magnitude of from40 to 50 per cent., which represents a cor-responding loss in coal. By the use ofhighly superheated steam in switch en-gines the loss is entirely tests made with switch enginesusing superheated steam in passengerstations have shown a saving in coal andwater far beyond that which is obtained efficient establ
