We shall first take up Wiebe1 :xpe erimentSi in the execution of which he R. Fig. 1.— Wiebes Apparatus. was assisted by Fr. Grutzmacher. Wiebe does not describe the apparatus thathe employed, but we understand that it was substantially identical with thatdescribed by W. Pomplun in the Zeitschrift fiir Instrumentenkunde for January,1891, Vol. 11, page 1, which had been constructed for the Reichsanstalt a shorttime previously, and with which Pomplun had already made some preliminaryexperiments. Wiebe may have made some minor changes in it, but as we find 248 THE LOCOMOTIVE. [October, no statement to this effect, the apparatus will be described in the form in whichPomplun used it. It consisted essentially of two parts, (i) the steam-generating device, shownat K in Fig. i, and (2) an air-reservoir, shown at F in the same principle involved is identically the same as that underlying the apparatusof Regnault that is illustrated on page 92 of The Locomotive for July, 1906,and fully described in the same issue.
