Iowa Central Firemen are In.
yestigating Engine Making
and Science of Air
eossgTT's TEST is THOROUGH
New Master Mechanic of Iowa Central
Insists on Examination Such as is
Given Engineers on Big Trunk Lines
Ordinary Every Day Experience is
Not Enough.

| The mere knowledge of how to run
not sufficient to become an engineer
on the Iowa Central now according to
| the ruling made by Master Mechanic
c. L. Gossett. The new head of the
| machinery department of the road Is
thorough in his examination for en-
gineers, and as result more than a
score of firemen are working nights in
posting themselves along educational
lines.
Master Mechanic Gossett is demand
ing OF his classes of firemen knowledge
of engine and air as is necessary to
lines. In fact the master mechanic
thinks that an engineer can not know
too much about an engine. Ordinarily,
on the Central, the knowledge Of run
ming an engine, how to repair break
downs, and the time card, are the
principal factors In the "setting-up"
the present master mechanic is in
sisting on complete knowledge of air.
and the machinery of an engine. In the
latter requirement an engineer must
be able to tell practically everything
about the making of an engine, even
to details. In the air test he must
know how long it will take to stop
certain length train, with given
amount of air. In cases of emergencies.
Many other technicalities are to be
mastered.
Several classes of firemen have TAX
en- the examination for engineers, and
have fallen down" on the newer re-
quirements. Mr. Gossett has given
them three months time in which to-
master the lntricacies of machinery
and air, and at the end of that timf
they will try the test again. Firemen
who have not yet served sufficient time
to take the examination for engineers,
are improving their time in study. so
as to be ready for the thorough test
when they can take II.
