It has in fact sq. ft. Thetubes in this boiler are 493 in number,2 ins. outside diameter, and each 14 ins. long. This gives a tube heatingsurface of 3, sq. ft. and the archedcrown ends and sides of the Wootten fire-box gives sq. ft. The total istherefore 3, sq. ft. The boiler pres-sure is 210 lbs. The tender frame is made of 15 channels and the tank, which hasa water bottom, holds 7,800 gallons andcarries 14 tons of coal. The weight ofthe engine and tender in working orderis about 403,100 lbs. The tender isequipped with the Shoen steel wheels,^i ins. in diameter, and having 2J/2 HI WARE & HUDSON SIMPLE CONSOLIDATION ENGINE. J. H. Manning, Supt. of Motive Power. American Loco. Company, Builders. same practice was followed in the en-gines here illustrated. It necessitatesan extension of the frame, thus some-what increasing the overhang at therear end, but this possible disadvantageseems to be more than offset by theadvantage of having the engineer andfireman together in one cab. This is,however, not the first time that a cabhas been placed at the back of the makes these engines the heaviest oftheir type ever built by the AmericanLocomotive Co. This added weight is,of course, all carried on the driving-wheels, thus increasing the adhesiveweight to 223,000 lbs. instead of 217,500lbs., as in the same design with cabahead of the firebox. These heavy 2-8-0 D. & H. engineshave cylinders 23x30 ins. and 59 in. rims. Some of the principal dimen-sions are as follows: Whe
