Railway and Locomotive Engineering . res, plus acolumn of water under pressure of the body of the lubricator there is awater tube that is connected at the top ofsaid body and also to the is also an oil pipe that is connectedto the oil passage at the bottom of saidbody which also connects the feeds. Oilbeing lighter than water floats to the for every drop of water that enters Fuel Tests on a Locomotive. One of the largest of the Mikado typeof locomotives has been mounted on thelocomotive testing laboratory of the Engi-neering Experiment Station, University ofIllinois, for an extended series of \ co-operation arrangement has beenmade with the International Fuel Asso-ciation and the United States Bureau ofMines to conduct tests with various sizesof coal used for fuel, and also with coalground to very fine particles. Both handand stoker firing will be used in the ex-periments. The testing laboratory is de-sigrned to permit the locomotive to be op-erated at any desired speed and at any. irnrarVfnf^rt^ .«; of kreiss forcf. feed oiler. the body a drop ot oil is displaced andforced through the feed nozzles and tothe top of the water in the sight glass,then to circulate with the steam in thetallow pipe that connects the lubricatorand the steam chest. My reason for taking up the hydrostaticfirst is to show the readers that theonly force that works lubricator is acolumn of water under pressure of steamproviding the choke plugs and feednozzles and also the tallow pipe are ingood condition. My idea is to take andattach a small steam pump to a body ofthe same design, remove the water pipeand oil pipe and chokes and force theoil from the body through the glassesto the tallow pipe. Of course, the tallowpipe will have to be pumped full of oilbefore it will begin to force oil into thechest or cylinder. But you can readilysee that my oiler will force the oil dropby drop into the chest or cylinder re-gardless of the pressure in same.
