Great care is exercised in therattling of this scrap—not to get the rustoff—but to leave enough on, for the rea-son that the oxide on scrap iron forms anexcellent flux for welding. The North Eastern Railway of England,which used Joys valve gear for a timeand abandoned it, have returned to itsuse. They are putting it on all newengines. 676 LOCOMOTIVE K 5 n ooo o o?: o M 5 mo%m j Has Throttling of Steam Under Investiga-tion. A committee of the Traveling. Engi-neers Association, of which W. E.
