The engines are fitted with the vacuumbrake and it is the pipe from the ejector board in order to lubricate the drivingboxes. These are simple cast iron boxesabout 7 ins. long by 1J4 i- wide by a littleless than 2 ins. deep inside. The cover isheld in place by a spring latch lipping inbeneath a projection on the body of thebox, as shown. In the bottom there is abrass perforated plate having perforationsabout 1/16 in. in diameter and spacedeight to the linear inch. From the bot-.

One minor detail of value that is notoften seen on American locomotives is thereach rod guide that is shown about mid-way the length of the rod above the run- tom pipes are led to the top of the axleboxes. In accordance with the general Euro-pean practice these engines are fitted witha screw reverse gear of the type is a gear that has been applied to alarge number of engines by the American
