The followingdescription, dealing with the CanadianNational Rys. waste reclaiming plant atthe Leaside Shops, Toronto, describes themanner in which the waste is reclaimed. When the old waste is brought intothe reclaiming plant, it is placed on grat-ing, picked over, and separated into twoportions, according to quality, the bet-ter grade being used subsequently forpassenger car journal lubrication, andthe other for freight cars.

Vertical members, screw jacks and height adjusting ultaneous machining of both cylinderand guides, ensures that the center lineof the cylinder and guides will be in onestraight line when the operation is fin-ished, and that the cylinder walls andguide surfaces will be parallel and truein relation to each other. The set-upwas devised by V. R. Cowtan, machinistin Toronto shops, , and we are in- necessarily of substantial constructionand well braced, and is erected on a solidconcrete foundation. The top bracing isprovided by six transverse I beams, to-gether with the auxiliary tie rods, asshown in fig. 1, and longitudinal chan-nels at the top add to the rigidity. Thesection of the vertical membersis as shown in fig. 2, which also ends, waste filled with babbitt, etc., gothrough the grating into a receptacleprovided to receive th
