In Figs. 10 and 11 are shown both sides of a very well designed agricultural locomotive, made by the well known firm Messrs. Marshall, Sons & Co., of Gainsborough. These traction engines have been improved from time to time and possess all the latest devices suggested by a long experience. It is impossible to speak too highly of the efficiency and good workmanship of Messrs. Marshall's productions. The cylinder is thoroughly steam-jacketed, and the steam supply, the circulation and the drainage of the neater appearance. Some of the gearing is placed in the box bracket; the remaining gearing outside the plate is effectively covered in to protect it from dust and dirt. The steerage worm wheel is placed inside the bearing, instead of outside, as is the usual practice. The engine is fitted with strong compensating gear, a slip winding drum and all the usual tools and appliances for rendering the engine complete and ready for any emergency to be met with in regular threshing or occasional hauling work. |
