PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Dynamo Supports for Portable and Traction
Engines with Locomotive-type Bollers.
I, FREDERICK JOHN BURRELL, of St. Nicholas Works, Thetford, in the
County of Norfolk, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
The object of the invention is to provide a cheap, strong and light support for.
carrying a dynamo on the smokebox end of a locomotive type boiler, and is of the
following construction.
The upper portion of the cylindrical smokebox plate is extended forward for a
distance sufficient to carry the dynamo well clear of the chimney, and to enable a
circular smokebox door to open on vertical hinges clear of an end plate fitted
transversely to give support to the front end of the extension.
The edges of the plate forming the extension may be either horizontal or curved
gradually deeper from the front end towards the sinokebox.
Instead of the above arrangement and in order to apply the improvement to
existing engines, the plate for supporting the dynamo may be made the same radius
inside as the outside of the smokebox, so as to fit outside the same and be secured
by bolts or other suitable meaus. The two longitudinal rails upon which the
dynamo slides are provided with curved feet which rest upon and are bolted to the
upper portion of the curved plate and are fitted with tightening screws.

Improvements in Dynamo Supports for Portable and Traction
Engines with Locomotive-type Bollers.
I, FREDERICK JOHN BURRELL, of St. Nicholas Works, Thetford, in the
County of Norfolk, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in dynamo supports for portable and
traction engines with locomotive-type boilers.
The object of the invention is to provide a cheap, strong and light support for
carrying a dynamo on the smokebox end of a locomotive type boiler.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon."
Fig. 1, is a front elevation and Fig. 2, 'is a side elevation of the first portion of
this invention.
Fig. 3, is a front elevation and Fig. 4, is a side elevation of the second portion
of this invention.

page_text: The upper portion of the cylindrical smokebox curved extension plate bis
extended forward for a distance sufficient to carry the dynamo well clear of the
chimney, and to enable a circular smokebox door to open on vertical hinges clear
of an end plate c fitted transversely to give support to the front end of the
extension.
The edges of the plate forming the extension may be either horizontal or
curved gradually deeper from the front and towards the smokebox a.
Instead of the above arrangement and in order to apply the improvement to
existing engines, the plate 6 for supporting the dynamo may be made the same
radius inside as the outside of the smokebox a, so as to fit outside the same and he
secured by bolts or other suitable means. The two longitudinal rails d, d, upon
which the dynamo slides are provided with curved feet e as in Figs. 1, and 2, which
rest upon and are bolted to the upper portion of the curved plate b and are fitted
with tightening screws.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what .I
claim is :-
1. In dynamo supports for portable and traction engines, the combination of the
curved extension plate 6 vertical end plate c and slides d, d, for dynamo, and the
curved feet e, substantially as herein described according to Figs. 1, and 2, of
the accompanying drawing.
2. In dynamo supports for portable and traction engines, the combination of the
curved extension plate b vertical end plates c and sides d, d, to support a dynamo,
substantially as herein described and according to Figs. 3, and 4, of the accompanying
drawing.
Dated this 4th day of December 1894.
