Sketch 2 shows an automatic oiler forcrank pins, eccentric straps, link block,cross-head and guides—two are in actualuse on the main rod cups of the engine inpicture. The needle feed is not used, butis shut down tight. Every time ratchetwheel turns over it carries a drop of oil,oil and graphite, or water and graphite, inthe cavity shown and into oil port andwhere it drops to bearing. The top of levermoves nearly J4 inch in a guide fixed tolop of oil post. The hook engages theteeth of wheel; every time cross-headpasses front center, top of lever is thrownahead, vice versa on back center; so ifthere are 30 teeth on wheel the bearing willget a drop of lubricant when wheels ofengine turn over 30 times. If anythingshould get out of order, the needle canbe brought in play in ten seconds. This. Main oil port throu(jhstem of valve ^f^J.

Engine is mak-ing daily trips over mountain 107 miles in4 hours 25 minutes, with 15 to 18 stops,on tablespoonful of oil. I am not readyto describe this yet. The time is here when the worry andcare of hot pins, boxes and eccentric strapsshould be taken off the engineer—Heavenknows he has enough to cause him to for-get his own identity. We can help him bytaking the oil cans off the engine, givethe engine inspector the pay he deservesand let him oil the engines and take theresponsibility. Pooling engines will thenbe a pleasure, as you know that is all theengineers worried over. We dont care fora knock if they wont run hot. Ed. S.\rver. Edgemont, So. Dnk. Cove
