It is impossible to speak too highly of the well-designed and latest pattern road locomotive shown by Fig. 95. The cylinder is thoroughly steam jacketed, and placed as near the smoke-box as possible, The side plates of the fire-box shell are carried upwards and backward for taking the four bearings of the various shafts. The first and second motion gearing is placed inside the bearings as before. An extra tank is provided beneath the boiler barrel, connected by a pipe with the tank under the foot-plate. The working parts of the engine are neatly boxed in, and the fly-wheel is of the disc pattern so as not to frighten horses. The driving wheels, compensating gear and draw bar are all exceedingly strong, and intended for rough usage and continuous road haulage work. |
