With a fair share of the large modernlocomotives the engineer cannot get underthem to inspect wedge bolts, eccentricstrap and blade bolts. The wheels comevery close together and driver brake rig-ging takes up all the openings we used tohave between them. With small wheelcenters you cannot see very much betweenthe spokes, wheel hub and counterbalance;in fact, soine of the bolts and nuts in themotion work are invisible to anyone notunder the engine. Now, in such cases it would preventmany engine failures on the road, if good,substantial wedge-shaped split keys werein every bolt, with a good bearing againstthe surface of the outside or jam nut. Thesmall round split keys through the end ofbolts that are usually located some dis-tance from the jam nut are worse than. PNEUMATIC BELT ■ HIFTER. shifter, usually about 1-32 inch.

Wide split keys cost more than the in-fant size of split keys; but one break-down will cost more than all the bolts andwide split keys for the whole engine. We think it only fair that in the case ofengines that cannot be properly inspectedunless over a pit, a regular inspector bedetailed to go under the engines after theyare placed over the pit and examine everypart of the engine that cannot be seenfrom the outside. , Januar
