How Many Puffs Does an Engine
Give?

The number of puffs given by a
locomotive depends upon the circum-
ference of its driving wheels and their
speed. No matter what the rate of
speed may be, for every one round of
the driving wheels a locomotive will
give four puffs-two out of each
cylinder. the cylinders being double.
The sizes of driving wheels vary. some
being 18, 10. 20. and even % feet in
circumference; though they are gener-
ally made in or about 20. The ex-
press speed varies from fifty-four to
fifty-eight miles an hour. Taking the
average circumference of the driving
wheel to be twenty feet. and the speed
per hour fifty miles, locomotive will
give, going at express speed, $50 puffs
per minute. or $1,000 puffs per hour.
the wheels revolving Is. 200 times in
sixty minutes, giving 1,056 puffs per
mile. Therefore. an express going
from London to Liverpool, distance
of POI "a miles. will throw out 213. 048
puffs before arriving at its destination.
During the tourist season of 1888 the
journey from London to Edinburgh
was accomplished in less than eight
hours, the distance being 401 miles,
giving speed throughout of fifty
miles an hour. A locomotive of an
express train from London to Edin-
burgh. subject to the above conditions,
will give 423, 456 puffs.
