Intercepting Valve booster of the type illustrated and described in RailwayAND Locomotive Engineering for July, 1923. It will be noticed that nearly all of these items make foraccessibility and ease of repairing. Indeed the whole de- 10 RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING January, 1925 sign of the engine is such that accessibiUty for repairs isits predominating characteristic. Ihe general dimensions of the locomotive are as follows: Diameter cylinder 23y2 in. Diameter cylinder 41 in. Stroke of 30 in. Diam. of driving wheels 57 in. Inside diam. of boiler 61% in. Steam pressure 350 lb. per sq. in. Firebox length 137 in. Firebox width 75 in. Tubes, number 145 in. Tubes, diameter 2 in. Superheater tubes, number 42 Superheater tubes, diam 5% in. Tubes, length 15 ft. Wheel base, driving 18 ft. Wheel base, engine 29 ft. Wheel base, engine and tender. 65 ft., 7^ in. ^^eight o
