on tho scene with locomotive where the
motion Is carried direct to the driving wheels
by the connecting rods. The cogs and spurs
and grasshopper legs are all absent and the
machine appears greatly simpliaod. There
is something wanting, however, in the gem
eral appearance, q lack Of some appurtenance
which gives the thing a foreign guise.
In 1S46 the modern locomotive makes its
appearance among the models that fill the
case. IL is still rather in the cub stage,
but the mother bear Of mechanical taste has
found out the art of licking it into shape.
The cab is introduced. You arc now on
familiar ground. And the upward progress
hence is cas- and dmarvelously rap i'd until,you
have before you the perfect LOGON otivo of to-
day, confessodly unimprovable ex cept in the
minor points of establishment.
There is, however ono defect about all
these locomotives, minor one, IL is true, but
which sometimes gave great deal OF annoy
ance. IL is perhaps the germ which, in the
full flower of the idea, delayed for many years
tho completion Of tho engine, tho thought
that the smooth surface Of the driving wheel
had no tractive power over the smooth sur
face Of the rail. Frequently in starting the
drivers will not "catch 90 the rail- but turn
round and round without forward motion.
To obviate this, in $780, William f.
Hensy patented a deyice, consisting in the
combination of pair of driving wheels with
pair of trailing wheels located back
of the drivers, whereby the whole weight OF
tho engine may be transferred from one to
the other. This is effected by means of a
lever, to be worked by tho engineer, con-
nected with a spring and beam. A forward
motion Of the lover throws the weight on the
drivers, backward pull transforms II to the
trailers. While this device has not yet made
its way to all engines, it is in uso ON a good
many roads, and is highly spoken OF by rail-
way men.
The great locomotive..of to day, therefore, has
a horizontal boiler, u bell-mouthed or slender
cylindrical smoke stack, u spark-catcher in
the shape of wire netting over the smoke
stack, sandbox, horizontal cylinders con-
Meeting rods outside of the wheels, eight oil
ten wheels, two driving axles, an improved
safety valve, binary in character, greater power
through fire tubes of steaming capacity o
boiler, q cab, truck, pilot, separate eccentrics
for each point of cutoff, and connecting rods
carrying motion directly; all points.of differ
