Steam generation by hot slag.-The vessel or generator 1, Fig. 1, is fitted with a cylinder 2 containing a sliding and semi-rotary plunger 5, in which slag receptacles 7, 8 are formed on opposite sides. The plunger is moved longitudinally by a steam-actuated piston-rod 9, or by hand gearing, to bring the two buckets 7, 8 opposite one or other of the charging-hoppers 17, 18, and the feed-opening 4 to the boiler. A half-rotation is given to the plunger by means of a rack 14, Figs. 1 and 3, and a segmental pinion 12, actuated by steam power or by hand gearing, to discharge the contents of one hopper into the generator, and to turn the other hopper into position to be filled from the charging-hopper. The granulated slag which collects in the vessel is removed through the discharge valve 24 into a slag receptacle 25, and out by the discharge valve 26. Removable castiron lining-pieces 23 are used to protect the shell from injury. The plunger 5 is packed with steamtight stuffing-boxes and glands at the ends of the cylinder. The steam trapped in the slag receptacles 7, 8 during their motion to and fro is conducted by pipes 10 to a feedwater heater 11 or elsewhere. The main steam pipe is provided with a valve 20, a steam gauge 21, and a check valve. A water gauge 22 is fitted to the vessel. The feed-hoppers are provided with regulating-valves or gates 19, and the slag is supplied to the hoppers from a car running on a track between the hoppers. In one modification, the cylinder 2 is arranged inside the generator. In another modification, the plunger works between two domes on one or separate boilers. One feedhopper is used, and the two receptacles in the plunger are made on the same side; the plunger is rotated by hand by means of a removable bar, which is engaged in sockets round the plunger. This modification may be extended to serve three boilers with one plunger having six slag receptacles. Fig. 7 shows a plunger 5 having a single receptacle. The plunger is worked longitudinally by chain gearing from the hand-driven sprocketwheel 30, and circumferentially by the handles or spokes 33.

Fig. 1 shows the vehicle in side elevation. The explosion motor is connected to the speed-changing and reversing train of wheels contained in the casing B through a clutch a, one member of which drives the gear wheels through a universal joint D permitting of longitudinal and parallel displacement of the two axes. This joint is constructed as shown in Fig. 4, the members with which the shafts end having each a pair of tenons, which engage with mortices disposed at right-angles to each other in opposite faces of an intermediate plate or coupling-piece. The driven shaft of the train of gearing actuates the balance gear c on the rear axle C through a shaft E with a Hooke's joint e<1> at one end, and a universal and telescopic joint e<2> at the other end. The telescopic joint is constructed as described in Specification No. 26,781, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Mechanism &c.]. The speed - changing and reversing gear is shown separately in Fig. 3. In this the squared shaft G is the one driven by the universal joint D, and on it slides a set of wheels H, I, J whereby, through the intermediate shaft M, a sleeve carrying the wheel K and journalled at one end of the shaft G can be driven at different speeds. The wheel K can also be driven directly from the shaft G by means of the jaws J, k it is connected with the shaft E by the joint e<1>. The wheels H, I, J are shifted by a fork L on a sliding rod l. Reversal is effected through an idle wheel S, which can be made to transmit motion from the wheel H to a wheel N on the shaft M. The wheel S is normally kept out of gear by a spring s<4> acting through a rod s<2> and lever a', as shown in Fig. 6. It is only brought into gear when required, viz., when the wheel H is brought into the plane of the wheel N, this being effected by the action on the rod s<2> of the sliding rod l whereby the wheel H is shifted. Brakes are provided on the road wheels and on the shaft M. Figs. 7 and 8 show the latter, but both are practically of the same construction. Two segments U, U<1>, hinged to a fixed bracket Z, are arranged inside a drum T on the shaft to be braked. These segments are drawn towards each other by a spring u, the range of movement being limited by stops z<1>. The segments can be forcibly separated and pressed against the drum T by the bent lever V and link v<1>.
