AMERICAN ENGINES DEFENDED
New York Expert Explains the Com
plants which Have Come
from India.

Discussing the cable report tina:
the manager of the Assam railway
had complained that the American
locomotives ON his line were in bad
shape after four years of service, a
master mechanic employed in the
locomotive repair shops at Mott
Haven denied that American locomo-
tives were short lived OF earelessly
made.
IF the crown plates of the engines
used in India gave out in four years,
should say that the trouble was
not with the plates themselves, but
with the men who take care of them.
The crown plates, or crown sheet, as
we call il, is the under part of the
boiler which is directly over the fire
box. Ii an engineer let's his water
get low the fire will burn the crown
sheet and the bolts that hold il. Then.
If the bolts are not attended to at
once, the sheet will sag and become
50 badly damaged that it is useless.
III they had cheap machines in In
dia in the first place, it is. natural
that they would not be iirst-class. II
isn't fair to take cheap machine as
type of locomotives sent out from
this country, The locomotives that
are sent TO the shops to have new
crown sheets put in have usually been
in constant operation for IL years
and ! have known them to las, longer
| than that"
