. Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . the introduction ofvery heavy locomotives, and this policyis illustrated by the persistence with capacities, and when properly handled,feed water into the boiler in a highlyefficient and satisfactory manner. Thestarting and stopping of an injector is acomparatively simple matter, but to feedwater into a boiler in the most approvedmanner requires the best judgment. Nomatter how skillful an engineer may bein handling an. engine—that is, with re-gard to the adjustment of the throttleand reverse lever—he does not have therecord for good runs, unless he has theability to feed the boiler effectively. It,therefore, behooves the progressive en-gineman to make a special study of thisimportant branch of locomotive manage-ment. There are enginemen, and we find themon every division of our standard rail-roads, who have boiler feeding down to ascience. They are men usually of morethan the average degree of intelligence,and who have the faculty of concentrat-ing the mind to a marked degree. The. which the Atlantic type has been re-tained for working the heaviest ex-press traffic over the entire wisdom of the policy has beenproved by the fine work done by theseengines. With the introduction ofheavier cars and higher speeds, how-ever, it has become necessary todouble head on many runs; and thenext move of the motive power de-partment, in providing a high-poweredpassenger locomotive, will be watchedwith interest.
