We givehere the principal dimensions of this engine, which hasgiven most excellent results, and which seems to be a start-ing-point for the extended application of the principle of drivers, 97,000 lbs.; total weight, in working order, 126,-800 lbs. This engine has six driving-wheels and a four-wheel truck. This machine is provided with an automatic startingvalve invented by Mr. Pitkin, placed at A.
