Better Than a Mile a Minute.

Some idea Of what is expected Of
engines IN these days of spec. ION.
tests, where mile after mile is clipped
off ut much better than a mile a min.
ute, is shown by computation Of the
the number Of revolutions engine
wheels had to make on the Lake
Shore run from Chicago to Buffalo
Tuesday. On this run a distance Of
525 miles was covered in 453 minutes.
The locomotive wheels are seventy.
nine inches in diameter. and figuring
on this basis it was necessary for the
wheels to make forty-four revolutions
a minute on the average for the en-.
tire distance.
