Gaar, Scott and Co. of Richmond, Indiana, exhibit a traction engine, Fig. 29, page 233, in which the cylinder is placed behind the crank-shaft instead of in the relative position always used on the locomotive. The boiler as used for straw burning is of the marine return flue type. The steering gear is of the usual type, with chains attached to the front swivel axle; the chain is wound around a corrugated roll, which prevents side slipping and keeps it taut. The traction wheels are solid, the face and cleats being chilled.
