These were fol-lowed by the crab type, the boiler andgeneral equipment being the same withthe exception of the cylinders which wereplaced horizontally, the motion being con-veyed, as formerly, from the engine tothe running wheels by intermediary spur tal cylinders had been in use for sometime, the method of elevating the cylin-ders came into vogue. The idea that thispeculiar form added to the tractive forceof the engine lingered a long time, butin 1853 a master builder of locomotivesappeared in America in the person ofWilliam Mason, who began building loco- ing in locomotive construction on linespeculiarly his own. From his ingenioushands six and eight-wheeled locomotivesappeared. The engines proper were setabove the frames, driving a separate axle,the motion of which was transferred toone pair of driving wheels, and by meansof cranks and connecting rods to the Septem
