A number of hard grease cups, or receptacles, are cast in-tegral with the upper wedge tie. At each end of the tie one ofthese receptacles is so located that holes drilled through theend wall form a passageway from the grease cavity to suitableopenings through the brass liners. These openings in the linersare XVi in. square, and form a pocket or reservoir, from whichradiating grease grooves are cut. Two other grease cavities are so cast and holes so drilled in the foot plate. Ordinary grease plugs are screwed in theseextensions, enabling both the liners and wedges to the top and outside of the front foot plate. Inspection of the illustration will show that each individualwedge possesses three distinct wearing faces. The two smaller,or outer faces, lie in the same plane and are inclined in onedirection.
