Automatic stokers for Locomotives.

A labor-saving device recently test
ed by a committee of the American
Railway Master Mechanics associa-
ton consists of an automatic >stoker
for locomotive boilers. by means of
which the coal is fed mechanically
from the tender to the fire-box. The
device tested, which was considerably
smaller than would be used on mod
ern high speed passenger locomotive,
vas found to work satisfactorily and
showed an economy OF not less than
7 percent in the amount of fuel con-
sumed over stocking with good hand
labor.
A large-siZe passenger locomotive
requires some 900 pounds of coal
per hour, and it is thought that a
stoker of such capacity working at
sumcient speed can be constructed on
this pattern. The application of this
idea of automatic stoking, now found
in many boiler rooms, to locomotive
is quite important, inasmuch as 1t viii
