The cylinders are 15^ and 25 inches indiameter, by 20 1-16 inches stroke—the above it, and the side elevation shows thebell-crank arrangement, as well as thethrottle valve itself. The construction ofthe dome itself is also interesting. The driving axle is seen to be entirelyforeign practice—the large wheel fit of6 19-64 inches, collar between this and thebearing, which is 5 29-32 inches diameterby 7?s inches long, and two further en-largements, before reaching the axleproper, of 5J/2 inches.

The cab is steel, withall the openings or panels finislied witha half-round polished brass molding, riv-eted into place.
