biggest railroads In tho country APP
piled 20 the New York Central people
for the drawing OF the locomotive that
made the run. The one that made
the highest speed was No. $40, which
drew the train out of New York.
Experts are taking note, not simply
Of the progress of locomotive buildings,
but of any hints they may get from
other branches OF mechanical cngi-
gineering. Mr. William buchanan,
the superintendent of motive
power and rolling stock OF the
Central. who designed No. $50, and has
designed all the locomotives of his
company for many years, says that he
has given some thought 20 the unique
boiler OF the Norwood, Mr.. Munro's
steamboat wonder. The Norwood de-
velops tremendous power OF steam
in the smallest possible compass, and
that is the very thing a locomotive
must do. The speed OF locomotive
depends mainly upon the ability of the
boiler TO supply steam OF the desired
pressure fast enough. To do this the
boiler must have n large heating sur
face This Is one of the strong points
about the Philadelphia and Reading
engines.
Locomotive $40. of which n drawing
Is given here, is the only one on the
Central with ~ foot wheel, and Mr..
buchanan had IL thus equipped in or
der 10 test the relative merits OF very
large and medium. sized drivers. En-
CINE $50 first came out of the shops at
Schenectady with FIVE foot nine inch
drivers, but they were afterward
changed for the big wheels. In all
other respects il is precisely like the
locomotives that drew the special train
from Albany 10 Buffalo.
The main dimensions of engine $40
are given in the diagram. The weight
Of the locomotive, when loaded. is sixty
tons, and of the tender loaded. forty
tons, or combined weight OF 100 tons.
The tender has a capacity Of six and
thrce-quarters tons OF coal, which Is
sufficient for run Of over 800 miles.
This is uncommonly large, aud per-
haps the same cannot be said Of half a
dozen locomotives in the country off
from the Central. The total heating
surface OF the engine is lsal.5 square
feet, and the CRATE has a surface OF e53
square feet The dimensions OF the
fire box are ninetysiX by forty and
seven-eight inches. II has cylinder
Of nineteen by twenty four inches.
