3-16 in. Theguide yoke is made in three pieces, thelower extension on each side being se-curely bolted to the main section. Thisfeature adds to the convenience in hand- heavy inside liner. The heating surfacei:i this boiler is 148 sq. ft. in the firebox,2,529 in the tubes, making a total of 2,677sq. ft. There are 315 tubes, 2 ins. indiameter and 15 ft. 5 ins. long. Thegrate contains 41.2 sq. ft., making theheating surface about 64 times the gratearea. The tender is carried on arch bartrucks, which are equipped with cast steelbolsters and chilled cast iron wheels.The tender frame is built of steel chan-nels. A pilot is provided at the rear end.The tank capacity is 5,000 gallons and6 tons of fuel are carried. This loco-motive, although not intended for longhauls in main line service, i9 an inter-esting example of a design built to oper-ate under difficult conditions. The2-8-2 wheel arrangement is particu-larly suitable for roads having light railsand many curves, while it allows the use

The two remainingpairs are equalized with the rear truck,which is of the Rushton type, with insidejournals. A half elliptic spring, havingarms of unequal lengths, is used in theequalization system, between the reardriving wheels and the back truck. The main frames are of cast steel, withrear sections of the same material, anddouble front rails of wrought iron. Thesplice between the main and rear sec-tions is back of the rear driving wheels,at which point the frame is supported bythe spring previously mentioned. Thepedestal binders are lugged and bolted tothe pedestals. The cylinders are single expansion,21 x 24 ins., equipped with balanced slidevalves, which are actuated by the Wal- ling these parts. The crossheads are of thealligator form and have cast steel bodiesand bronze gibs. The boiler is of the s
