1t was only in the year 1904 that
Richard Trivithick constructed and

This was merely an experimental eff
fort, and was commercially unsuccess-
tul. but the interest which attended
the experiment, together with the UNI
usual stimulus which was given to
invention in this line by the rapid de-

localities, and the inadequacy of the
existing means of transportation, led
to numerous attempts at Improvement.

until 1929 that the superiority of the

In view of the studies of the latest
type of locomotive a contribution of
Clement S. Stratton, c. E., of Leicester
England, to the Locomotive Engineer,
lis especially interesting. He says:
Many photographs and diagrams exist
of the engine John Bull, now at Wash
ington, but no complete official eleva-
ton of the engine as it was when it
left the works of r. Stevenson &
Co. has yet appeared in print in this
country. therefore think the dia-
gram sent herewith will be of interest
on both sides of the Atlantic.
An interesting example of recent
locomotive construction is furnished
in the compound engine shown here
with. 1t is the Cnly one of it's kind in
the world. 1t was built by Krauss
& Co. of Munich ard Linz, for the Ba-
varian State railway. Its builders
aimed at combining the chief advan-
greater traction force which four
coupled engines afford in starting and
in mounting gradients, while further
they desired to secure Il more perfect
adaptability of the engine to the va
rious requirements concerning speed
and power that arise during ordinary
working conditions. Very large
cylinders, quite desirable in cases of
great power being required at low
SPEED, give unfavorable results at
high speeds. II the customary two
cylinders are to be adhered to, it is
dimensions. The design adopted by
Krauss & Co. enables them to adapt
the dimensions of the cylinders to the
