The Compressed Air Locomotive for In.
clined Planes.
EXHIBITED BY STUDENTS OF PHILADELPHIA
POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE, AT MACHINERY
HALL, CENTENNIAL.

In order to illustrate the practical work
ing of this new system of Compressed Air
Propulsion, the Students of the School of
Mines, and of the School of Civil En-
gineering united with those of the School of
ton of line of railroad, both level and
inclined, on which to exhibit the Locomo-
tive.
Without fire, steam or smoke, and with
out cogwheels rolling on the track, the
engine ascends grade of one foot i'll five,
by meaus of 4 motor which, once COM
pressed, may be kept ready for use, and be
obtained through suitable conducts at any
point required.
To impress upon the mind of the visitor
the fact that this system is well adapted to
mining purposes, model of section of
the shaft of il mine was constructed, about
one foot square In Its cross section, and
eight feet high, covered by the floor and
frame work of the ore shed and machinery
house surmounted by its belfry. Against
what represents, in plaster, rocky hill
side, winch rises above the sum nit of the
mine and descends to a lower level beyond,
the roadbed of the inclined plane has been
built, and cross ties laid. These ties are
continued over trestle work to the abut
ment of a deck-bridge, one arch of which,
with supporting pier, is finished. The
whole structure occupies space 10 feet
long, and is about feet in its extreme
height. Throughout this length single
track of rails is laid.
TIE ENGINE.
The model of the engine, which has been
constructed on the scale of an inch to the
foot, consists of nearly cylindrical copper
air chamber, resting horizontally on four
Standards which contain the journal boxes
of the wheels that support the machine.
The driving wheels are horizontal, and
are two i'll number. They revolve in
opposite directions beneath the air cham
Der, where they are set and properly sup
ported, one on either side of the middle of
the bottom. The two horizontal cylinders
and their pistons, connecting rods, valves
and valve rods, do not differ materially
from those of ordinary steam locomotives.
The track has third or plate rail fast
ened edgewise, midway between the L rails
and high enough to run between the two
driving wheels. BY means of lever
these wheels can be brought and retained
sufficiently close together to pinch or press
between them the central rail, and this
pressure can be SO increased as to hold the
! engine securely on steep inclined planes,
or 10y revolution of the driving wheels to
propel it up or down at the speed required.
The reservoir of compressed air, under a
pressure of about 80 pounds to the square
inch, stands at the foot Of the plane and from
it a inch pipe line is laid just outside
the outer lail, and extending to the head
of the plane.
/ In this pipe are three "air stations" one
at either end of the line, and one on the
plane, SO that should the pressure i'll the
air chamber fall too low, a fresh supply OF
compressed air may be drawn by stopping
