The drawings show the plan and elevationof the tank, the stack, the three hoods, the three ducts connect-ing the fan with the concrete basin, the fan and motor and theelbow connecting the fan with the large smoke duct in theengine house to which the smoke jacks connect. A large smoke duct, 60 in. in diameter at the center andtapering to 36 in. at the ends, extends around the engine housejust under the roof and directly above the smoke stacks of thelocomotives when the latter are headed in and standing innormal position. This smoke duct was built of transite mate-rial, and is connected with drop pipes leading down to each each of these drop pipes is a damper which is closed when. Locomotive Sn ashing Plnnt at the Englewood Engine House forcing the smoke through a large body of water by means ofa fan, separating the unconsumed carbon from the gas, permit-ting the latter to escape through a high stack and holding thecarbon and other solids in suspension in the water. D. , superintendent of motive power, who had made a Hfe-long study of smoke-abatement devices, approved of the small plant was built at Elkhart, Ind., capable of taking careof one locomotive, which gave results beyond expectation. Tomore thoroughly test the device, an experimental plant wasbuilt at Collinwood, Ohio, to take care of several the data collected from this experimental plant, the pres- the jack is not in use. Leading from each drop pipe is atelescopic jack made of cast iron and supported from the telescopic jacks have vertical, lateral and longitudinalmovement to accommodate different positions of the locomotives
