For example, inorder to avoid repeated re-placements of exhaust nozzlesin order to determine thediameter most suitable for thelocomotive a variable nozzleof the type used on theParis Lyon & Mediterranean Railway was installed, but instead of placing the regulatinghandle in the cab, there is nothing on the outside exceptthe lever marked 20 in the side view. This is adjustedfor exixirimental purposes and when the best locationor diameter of nozzle has Ixen determined the design willl>e fliscafled and a fixed nozzle substituted.
