If suchcars were arranged for this service anda suitable pit constructed at a locomo-tive station, there is every reason tosuppose that the shoveling of ashes intocars after ashpans had been cleaned,could be done away with. The act ofdumping ashpans would then load thecars. A pamphlet just published by Locomotive Company illus-trates- and describes Consolidation or2-8-0 locomotives, weighing more than175,000 lbs. It is a sequel to the pam-phlet which we mentioned in our No-vember issue, page 533, which dealt. KING-LAWSON AIR OPERATED DUMP CAR was loaded up with the rejected parts ofsteel forgings. These odds and ends arewhat remains after the part used to makethe rolled steel wheels has been takenfrom the flat cakes of steel andthey weigh from three to eight hun-dred pounds each, and when they wereloaded into the King-Lawson car theywere red hot. On the occasion when the presidentof the car company witnessed this heroictreatment, the red hot load was putaboard, the car moved to the steel com-panys dumping ground and the load dis-charged, and the car came back for morehot stuff in 20 minutes. This was thefirst time in the history of the works thata car carrying such a load had gone andcome back in the same day, so that any-body who wishes to roughly calculate thepercentage in time saving here effectedhas sufficient data before him. The cars supplied to the steel works with those weighing l
