Messrs. J. & H. McLaren, of Leeds. In Fig. 12 is shown one of their newly designed agricultural locomotives. This engine is of the four-shaft type. The weight of the engine has been considerably reduced, in fact there is a desire among the best makers to take away all superfluous material in the details and to replace heavy cast-iron brackets with much lighter ones made of steel. By these alterations the strength, and the efficiency of the engines are considerably increased. Messrs. McLaren, too, have adopted the bored guide. The engine is a thoroughly sound and trustworthy piece of workmanship, the design embodying the improvements suggested by seventeen years' experience. |
