The material andworkmanship are excellent. the troubles incident to the use of ironcocks or blow-off lines of the plug stick-ing. The wrench is on the small end ofthese plugs, and the spring takes up allwear of the plug. The stiffness is en-tirely relieved. Besides these are a fullline of valves and fittings for the locomo-tive, all of much importance to rail-way men. United States Metallic Packing Company.
