The operating rod is apipe universally jointed to the screw andthence to the operating rod, and con-trolled by a hand wheel in the cab. Therod and hand wheel are concentric in-stead of having separate axles connectedby gear wheels, and as the rocking shafts of the valve gear as assembled on thelocomotive, and it need hardly be pointedout that the connections are all easilyreached and capable of being readily re-bushed and replaced in the course of in-evitable wear, and when properly adjustedretains its reliability of action in a marked.
