AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY, BUILDERS. constructing engineers arranged to haveas many as possible of the detail parts ofthe two types of locomotives the same inorder to facilitate maintenance and reducethe number of extra parts which wouldhave to be carried by a road situated atso remote a distance from the point ofmanufacture. That the desiigners suc-ceeded to a high degree is evidenced fromthe fact that the interchangeable parts in-clude the boiler complete with attach-ments, cylinders complete, except inheight, valve motion parts with exceptionof eccentric cranks; trailing truck; cab;tenders; cocks and valves; fittings andbrake cylinders. The following parts are is 84V,8 in. long by 60J4 in. wide with130 2-in. tubes and 22 S^-in. flues, 18 in. in length. The heating surface is176 sq. ft. for the firebox, combustionchambe
