A new monster engine now under
way at Pittsburg will eclipse anything
ever constructed. The enormous boiler
is now partly finished and its smallest
ring measures SO inches in diameter, and
the entire continuance is rolled from one
inch steel plates, making two inches at
the laps, which are double-riveted and
designed for steam pressure of 22o
pounds to the square inch. This gigantic
boiler will be one of the greatest me-
chanical wonders of the age. IL will far
outclass In weight, heating surface,
water and steam capacity anything of
the kind that has ever been produced,
and it is generally admitted by mechan-
ical experts that no other locomotive
works will undertake to construct any,
thing bigger. 1t will have q drawing
capacity of 5000 tons; the tractive pow
er of the largest engine now in use is
only 1000 tons. When completed it
will be used on the Carnegie railway.
