These engines are known as the Bald
win 10 wheeled simple engines and
were designed by Mr.. Player of this
city. In addition to their being service
able they are beauties as regards con-
venience and workmanship They are
equipped with all the modern improve
ments and safety appliances and in ad-
ditiOn have electric headlights and cleo
trio lights in the cabs
Without a doubt in a short time, or
at the utmost, a few years, there will
be very few if any of the small engines
used, for the orders of today, especial
engines of strength and speed and this
requirement necessarily carries with it
an increase in size over the generally
small engine of today.
