The rear part, i, of the cylindrical shell, ordinarily the boiler shell, is formed as a fuel tank; and the front part, k, corresponding to the smoke-box, receives a radiator m. and a fan, l, driven from the engine. An extension r of the radiator, c, mounted directly on a spring fore-carriage, v, and the plates a are mounted on the rear axle through springs and equalizing-levers of the kind described in Specification 1775/03.
