Our accompanying illustrations showin detail the chief features of the device,Fig. 1 being a transverse sectional view ofa portion of the front end of a locomotivethrough the exhaust nozzle and stack. !_J H.

October, 1918 RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING 329 British Railways and the War BY ROBERT W. A. SALTER, LONDON, ENGLAND. Some months having elapsed since theappointment of Mr. McAdoo to the re-sponsible position of Director General ofRailroads and a fair basis for compari-son between the merits and demerits ofthe two administrations being thus af-forded, the following paper, a resume ofthe outcomings and experiences of nearlyfour years of Government control inGreat Britain, will not come amiss.
