A Roomful of North-Pole Weather
for Testing Motor Cars
IT
is called the Cold Room, and it is coldoften as much as sixty degrees below zero.
It is a large, heavy-walled room in the great
Chrysler Motors engineering laboratories, and
the men who carry on the various tests in this
room are clad like Arctic explorers.
In this Cold Room, day after day, the operation of the various cars bui!t by Chrysler Motors
is studied and checked under various degrees
of extreme frigidity. Raging blizzards are produced in the Cold Room by introducing moist
air and switching on large <<wind
fans." The moist air is crystallized into snow and whirled
about the room with the force
of a stinging polar gale.
Or, by turning the "wind
fans" directly on the car, the
engineers duplicate actual windconditions that a car would encounter while travelling at high
speeds in subzero weather.
Under these tgmpestuous,
bitter-cold conditions, engine
behavior, fuel economy, lubrication viscosity,
carburetor action, brake eficiency and the re.
actions of batteries, generators and starting and
lighting systems are scientifically aaalyzed.
The Cold Room is but one c f many severetests
which Chrysler Motors products must undergo.
It is true that a motor car seldom would be
operated in the face of such hardships, but k is
reassuring for' owners t o know that this
and other rigorous tests prove the ability of all
,
Chrysler-built cars to withstand
extreme weather conditions.
T h e l e n g t h s t o which
Chrysler Motors goes, not only
in new csr experimentation but
in testing current models
selected at random as they come
off the production lines, is but
another evidence of the good
faith and constructive inreh
gence back of the Chrysler
Motors policy invariably to
render betlev public setwire.

FRISCO ENGINE IS ENDURANCE CHAMPIOR
T H I S is the story of a famous
railroad "battle" in which a
170 pound man fought a
~ 6 0 , 0 0 0 pound locomotive for
twenty-five t~a):s-fought it in a
friendly fashion. lavishing a tender care upon the iron monster
-and came out with a unanimous
tlecision of "draw!"
Sate to say the battle Was
scarcely a private affair. Every
railroad man in [.he United
States knew about it before the first
round was over, and it became public
property a t the conclusion of the second round when newspapers over the
nation laced stories conceruing it
on their first pages and kept them
there until the contest was Anishe(1.
It is the story of the Frisco's f a n ous endurance locomotive KO. 4113,
and its intrepid commander, D. L.
Forsythe, on the world's record endurance run ol 7,350 miles.
When the run was finished ForsYthe found himself a famous man, and
his locomotive almost equally a s renowned. Together they had weathered storms and sunshine during night
and day for five complete round trips
between Kansas City, hIo., and Birmingham, Ala., and both loconlotive
and road foreman were ready for
more had it been thought necessary
that another trip be made.
During the grueling run the 4113
had consnmed 976 tons of coal, 1.500,000 gallons of water, made 13,780.749
g ~ ~ o toll
s s miles, hauled 555 cars for a
total of 393,529 car miles, carried 60
different crews in its capacious cab,
more than doubled the former world's
record of 3,500 miles, had never on
the entire test been late or caused a
delay-.and to top it off, came into
the Kansas City terminals a t the end
of t h e run three and one-half hours
ahead of time with 3,746 tons behind
her straining pistons!
But let's get this story from the
beginning and miss none of the details.
The famous St. Louis Robin was
no more thau two or three days in the
air on its famous sustained flight record of 17 days when a conference of
railroad officials was held in Springfield, hlo.. headquarters city of Frisco
Lines. There was nothing ahout the
conference to arouse the fancy of
any outsiders. Gathered around a
conference table were the Superintendent of Motive Power and his assistants, the Fuel Agent and a member of his staff, and a grizzled veteran
of 5 1 years Frisco railroading, whose

Spread on the table were blueprints

The Superintendent of Motive Powe r looked a t his general road foreman.
"All right, Dee," he said. "Which

"I'll take the 4113, Mr. Worman,"
Forsythe answered, "and I'll be on

!t,
\leanwhile, "Dee" Forsythe held a n
ayomptu conference with newspap-
ermen and told them about the record
run in his own words.
"We had no trouble with the locomotive a t any time," he said. "I a m
positive if t h a t engine had to go out
again on a run tonight she could do
it without trouble. The only reasons
we ended the run now a r e because
the United States department of commerce regulations call for thorough
inspection of all locomotives every
thirty days-and
because I'm getting
a little tired of riding t h a t old 'hog,'
good and faithful though she is. I
promised to stay with her until she
quit, and if we had to go again tonight, I'd go too. But I'm going to
get a good night of sleep---or rather
a full day of it-then
I'll make out
my reports, and go up to Excelsior
Springs with Mrs. Forsythe for a few
days rest.
"I'm mighty proud of the engine.
We had quite a time of it. A fellow
who has handled motive power for
forty-one years like I have gets so
h e feels toward a locomotive like
other folks feel towards dogs and
cats and pets around t h e house. Why,
that 4113 has almost human intelligence. A notch o r so o n t h e throttle
is just like a pat on the back to a
horse. She works for a fellow. Gets
right down and pulls when she is
asked too. Then the 'little man' helped a lot on some of the grades. The
'little man' i s the locomotive booster,
you know. We use it for more power
on starting, or on grades. He's a
great help to the old lady some times.
"Our fuel consumption was much
better than we thought it would be.
W e were 11 pounds under our former
listing. I don't know yet just how it
will compare with the general run of
locomotive handling, but we'll be
right up toward the top. We had no
trouble with the boiler, either, because we were careful with our water. W e treated it right, and she
steamed properly all the time!'
I m i l e the world's champion engineer was taking his well-earned r e s t
a t Excelsior Springs, trained mechanics in the Kansas City shops of Frisco
Lines "looked into" the 4113. Her
Are was knocked, her boiler drained
and her flues blown. From top to
bottom, r e a r to front and side to
side, they examined the 4113.
When the "calibration" of her
many instruments was over, a puzzled group of expert mechanical men
stood a t the head end of her enormous bulk.
"Why" one of them exclaimed, after a silence, "there's nothing the
matter with that engine. She's good
for another 7,350 miles!"
And that is the story of the famous
endurance run on Frisco Lines.
So widely scattered were the many
accounts of t h e progress of this famous Frisco engine that road foreman Forsythe kept two stenographe r s busy for days answering telegrams and letters of congratulations
from many persons in all parts of
America. Among the many communications were telegrams from Samuel
Vauclain, chairman of the board of
the Baldwin Locomotive Company;
President Kurn of the Frisco; President DeBardeleben of the DeBardeleben Coal Company a t Birmingham.
and many railroad men from other
lines wrote the famous engineer congratulating him on his achievement.
Another world's record endurance
run h a s been made. Never before
has a locomotive traveled so great n
distance with a continual Are under
her boiler, a continual train behind
her straining drivers.

It was pioneer railroading then, and
these were some of the men who

"Care in the preparation of various
reports sent to the car accounting of.
fico is well worth while" Mr. Johnson
said. Those compiling reports should
take advantage of various means of
verifying their correctness. Freight
conductors should verify correctness
of c a r numbers on wheel reports and
train books by actual check against
cars.
Con~parison of car numbers
and initials with those shown on waybills after actual check of numbers
and initials from cars is advisable."
Besides the car accounting proper,
this office produced statistical reports
used in measuring the efficiency of
train operation with reference to tonnage handled, fuel consumed and general performance. For this purpose
conductors' wheel reports of fuel,
wages, tonnage and hours of service
a r e used.
The work of the car accountant's
office is highly important and the information built up from t h e records
and Ales received in this office serve
very largely a s a basis for car handling, per diem accounting, verifica-
tion of car repairs, freight claims and
freight revenue a s well as for various
transportatioii and operating performance reports and statistfcs. In
fact the efficiency of car records determines in a large measure t h e degree in which the best use is made of
cars, and of course t h e car is the
facility unit that must be used In
earning every dollar of our freight
and passenger revenue.
"I would like t o stress the importance of sending to u s prompt and correct reports in connection with this
car accounting," Mr. Johnson said, as
I feel that with this short explanation
of t h e work of this department, employes will better realize what accuracy and promptness means. Also I
wish t o express my sincere appreciation to the employes and management
who a r e co-operating with u s i n every
way possible."

ETER STOLLE, section foreman
a t Monett, Mo.. is a co-inventor of
a device intended to prevent derailments and which is known a s t h e
Stolle-Manley switch block, now in
use i n t h e yards a t t h a t point.
This device consists of a bar connecting directly t o t h e switch point.
(independent of the coupling rods)
which fits into a heavy metal block,
secured to the tie a t the base of the
switch. Through this device the position of "ground-throw" switches not
having lights or targets can be determined both day and night. With this
device in use the switch stand may be
taken completely away, yet there is
no danger of the points of the switch
springing bpen until released by the
P
foot pedal operating t h e device.
Should the switch stand be torn away
or broken and not noticed, t h e device
will hold t h e points of the switch in
proper position.
Mr. Stolle has painted t h e ball
handle of each switch white, which
makes it possible to determine a t a
glance which switch is lined for the
lead and which for the track, a s all
switches o n this lead throw in the
same direction. By night the headlight shining on the white handle,
makes it possible to tell correctly t h e
position of the switch in time to prevent running through a switch which
might he Hned wrong. A number of

the next a s they a r e needed for exhibition. The posts should contact
their local railroad agents and find
out when t h e films will be available
in their cities and should contact the
managers of their local theatres,
making arrangements t o show the
films. When the film arrives in a
city, t h e railroad agent will call a
Legionnaire, who will take t h e film
l o the theatre. After the showing is
completed the Legionnaire will take
the film back t o the railroad agent
mid the post's work will be done.
The preparation of this American
Legion safety film by the railroads
is a striking indication of the confidence of the railroads in the Legion's
ability to achieve results in our safety program. The railroads have been
striving for years to reduce the number of grade crossing accidents and
when the Legion made safety work a
major activity a t the national convention a t S a n Antonio last year, a1
once offered their co-operation. This
film comes a s a very generous and
concrete piece of co-operation.

DAHLIA
SOCIETY TO MEET
Members of the Ozark Dahlia Society, organized in April, 1928, a r e
preparing for their annual fall show
to be held in the Shrine Mosque.
Springfield, Mo., September 20, 21. A
committee consisting of F. R. Holaway, Z. M. Dunbar (of Frisco Lines.
Springfield), W. P. McKinley. W. A.
Bangs and Arthur E r k e h a s been appointed to perfect arrangements.
During t h e 1928 show more than
10,000 blooms were on exhibition,
ranging from one inch in diameter to
ten inches. The Ozark region does
not only produce the best fruits i n
the world, but the show proved that
it also produces good dahlias.
Many valuable prizes were awarded to t h e amateurs and considerable
interest is being manifested in the
growing of better dahlias each year.
At t h e regular meeting, members
of t h e dahlia society discuss cultivation, spraying, budding and other
things in a n educational way for the
benefit of dahlia growers. There a r e
approximately 90 members of this society who will compete for the valuable prizes to be distributed for the
best dahlias shown in the 1929 show.

it is well to first cover the rough

POINTS ABOUT F R ~ T
If called upon to decorate a float, Or
to trim a car for a parade, t h e first
thing to do is to decide a s nearly as
possible how the car is desired to appear when finished. Make a sketch
if possible.
A framework of laths or compoboard is usually required for large
trucks. And to form the heads of
animals or birds, firm wires should be
used or the outlines may be made of
compo-board or heavy pasteboard.
These a r e covered with muslin,
stretched tightly, and then the crepe
paper is either fringed or crushed and
pasted over this.
A passenger car presents more
problems to a decorator than a commercial truck, because there a r e s o
few places that afford means of attaching the decorations. T o overcome this, and to prevent scratching
the car, the body is usually covered,
with inexpensive muslin. This may
be sewed or pinned or fastened with
gummed cloth tape. T h e effect of

"Dear Twilight Lady: Will you please print my letter

do enjoy. I wish to thank Mr.

always be happy and wave and
throw off papers and magazines
to all the little boys and girls
that enjoy them. I hope that you
will print this and that Mr. Kenney will see it and throw it off
to me. I will close for this time.

For instance, there's the yard to
rake. T h e leaves have fallen fast.
Dad says "Son-be

wish you'd raked that yard early in
the morning? You could have almost done it while you were deciding
to wait until afternoon.
And so it is that t h e difficult tasks

fit~edfor his unique title of the first
flying mechanic of Frisco Lines.
In 1918, he joined the Navy in the
Aviation Department a s a mechanic,
~ n dlater acquired the title of QuarIi=rmaster. He served in this capacIt? lor about six and p hall months
:!I Charleston, S. C., and w a s later
transferred to Iley West, Florida, a s
a "trouble shooter." H e was in charge
o[ a plane, and learned the construclion or airplanes and many technicalities. He also flew the plane himsell end understood the a r t in a fair
way.
Six and a half years ago he came
lo the Frisco a s a machinist in the
31otor car department under L. A.
Toupin. The urge to fly a n airplane
aeain came to him with such force
that he spent Sunday after Sunday
a t Springfield's airport. Finally he
found a plane for sale, a Canadian
Curtis Biplane, one owned by the
Government, but one which had had
little use. He bought it and tore it
apart. H e stripped the plane completely, took the covering off, scraped
and re-varnished all the parts, took
off the old rusty wire and fixed it up.
He took a correspondence course in
rigging and rebuilding of planes
which enabled him to Itnow when the
wood in the plane was rotten and
many technicalities which it was
necessary for him to know. H e recovered the plane and then took
about eight hours instruction and
solo work. and to date has had about
twenty hours.
H e does not care about a license,
except he will probably secure a priva t e license which will enable him to
take up a Yew of his friends and to
111a1ie trips from one city to the other.
He has already taken up several of
his friends, and they claim that he
is a n expert pilot.
The entire Wilson family, consisting of his mile and four babies a r e
enthusiastic over the sport and a r e
decidedly air-minded. Each member
h a s been up with him except the
baby. age 2, and she will be taken up
within a short time by her daddy.
Mr. Wilson exercises the utmost
care in the operation of his plane.
On arrival a t the field, he first goes
u p alone to assure himself that its
operation is perfect and then he descends to take up his friends.
When he was interviewed on Saturday, Aug. 10, he was preparing to
go to Battlefield, Mo., for an exhibition flight.
"lt's just a hobby," Mr. Wilson
said. "and of course with most hobbies, it is a n interesting one and one
in which I am putting my heart and
soul. I feel that with the careful overhauling I have given the old 'Canuck'
that it is perrectly safe, and the fact
that my family a r e all so interested
in it, makes the hobby twice a s interesting."
He has. a s far a s can be ascertained, right to the title of the Frisco's
first flying mechanic, and he is justly
proud of the title.

.Smoke a pipe of peace!
Y
IPE-SMOKERS, here's good news ! These four
hale and hearty railroad men have found a t
last the perfect smoke for their pipes. Edgeworth
-the railroader's pal !
Resting in the bunkhouse a t Harmon, N. Y., Ed
Foley, veteran engineer of the Twentieth Century
Limited, and his firemen friends Fred Rogler, Ike
Hart and Harry Cappallo say there's nothing like a
pipeful of Edgeworth after a long hard run. It's the
one and only brand, they say, that brings them
peace and comfort.
On sale everywhere, including Commissary Stores
and camps, railroad depots and stations. Two forms:
Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed, all ready f o r your pipe;
and Edgeworth Plug Slice, for those who like to "rub

Dearborn success in correcting troubles with
scaling, foaming, pitting and corrosion is the result
of forty-two years of experience.
For the third time in twenty years the laboratory
and scientific quarters of this Company are being
enlarged. Each time as the old quarters have been
outgrown, ample room has been allowed for expansion. And each time the growth in numbers of
Dearborn customers has made larger quarters necessary in a few years. The reputation of the
"House of Chemical Engineers" has steadily
mounted on the results achieved in correction of
water troubles for railways and industrial plants
everywhere.
We feel ourselves equipped to give you increasingly effective service.

We want to borrow a hand-the hardest-toclean hand that evcr did a dirt-collecting job.
I n 58 seconds we'll give back that hand so
clean that its owner and his wife won't know
it. How will we clean it? With Lava Soap.
That's all. But thnt's enough-because Lava
i3 made to drag out grime and grease quicker
than nny other soap in the world-without
hurting the skin. Lava contains pulverized
Italian pumice ground almost as fine ax flour.
I t makes a rich. fast-working lather-even in
cold or hard water-a lather that gets the dirt
and protects the skin. Lava costs only 6 cents
or a dime-at any grocery or drug store.

Locomot ioe Design for Switching and Y a r d SeruilS!
(Abstract f r o m a papcr prcsrrrlcd by d l r . H . 5. VI,VCI<N?' brfore Ccr~tral Railway Clzrb, M a y , 1929)
W
lTHIN the past five years illcreasing attention has been
given by responsible railroad
officials to the design and efficient
operation of classification yards and
switching facilities, a s they have
recognized that capital expended in
this way gives operating economies,
which cannot otherwise be obtained.
The introduction of the Hump Yard
some years ago (which incidentally
has been in use in England since
1873). constituted a great advance
over flat switching, and paved the way
for that most modern improvement,
the retarder system. which is giving
The relative importance of switching power to total power in use by
the railroads is not generally realized. The Interstate Commerce Commission Compilation for 1927 indicates that in the Eastern District
switching locomotives constitute 20
per cent of the total number of locomotives in service and these furnish
17 per cent of the total tractive effort.
In the Souther11 District, the proportion is switching locomotives 15.1
per cent and switching tractive effort
13 per cent.
In the Western District it is switching locomotives 16.8 per cent and
such significant economies in yard
operation, and the use of which is
spreading rapidly.
Pard engineers
have devised systems of flood lighting
which have greatly improvecl the efficiency of the night tricks. They have
also put the radio and teletype to
work ill speeding up car movement.
These radical improvements in yard
operation have practically eliminated
the "neck of the bottle" in securing
rapid transportation.
One of t h e most important elements
of a successful yard is the locomotive.
The design of yarcl and switching
locomotives is receiving more attention now than formerly. There was
quite a fashion a t one time to convert
obsolete road power into switchers,
but such switchers rarely overcame
their handicap of obsolescence. The
vast majority of s i n d l yards still handle their classificatioil by flat switching and utilize for this work the 0-6-0
or 0-6-0 type of loconiotive. For the
most efficient results, when the design
of yarcl permits. the locon~otive
should be sufficiently powerful to pick
up a train a s brouqht in to the receiving yarcl by the road locomotive, a i t h out the necessity of breaking it into
cuts.
In t h e operation of Hump
Yards. picking up solid trains clenlands very high tractive effort. Some
yards a r e using the 0-10-0 or Mallet
type in this service.
Switching engines must be capable
of continuous operation, a s a rush of
business may require them to be op.
erated for two or three continuous
tricks sometimes necessitating the
changing of crews in t h r pard,
switching tractive effort 12.5 per cent
For the same year the switching
mileage was 23.4 per cent of the total
mileage made by all locomotives.
T h e fuel coi~suined for the year
1927 by switching and yard locomo
tives a s related to t h a t consumed fol
all locomotives is:
Eastern District - 19.4 per cent
Southern District - 15.0 per cent
Western District - 14.7 per cent
Total - - - - 16.7 per cent
These statistics apply to Class 1
railways only.
A prominent Eastern road has a
total of 3,300 locomotivrs of whirl,
813 a r e switchers principally of the
0-6-0 and 0-6-0 type. The switchers
therefore, on this road represelit 24.8
per cent of the total number of loco.
motives and 2 0 per cent of the total
tractive effort. These statistics indicate the importance of giving close
nttention to the design and operation
of a road's switching power, a s slackness in this department adversely elfects the earning power of the entirt,
road.
Anyone who keeps in touch with
developments in locomotive design
will have noticed the relatively recent
tendency to apply to switching and
yard locomotives most of the refinements in design which one normally
associates with road locomotives.
such a s feedwater heaters, syphons.
front end throttles. power reverse
gear and even stokers. The reason
for these appliances becomes appare n t when one considers the efficiency
in operation demanded and the proportion of the fuel cost charged to
this class of power.

One of the major improvemenl t
design and one directly affecting abc
fuel economy and efficiency of $2:
ation is the Limited Maximum [or

It is well known that yard Krc
switching locomotives operate hy
majority of the time with the re! th
lever in the corner. The usual I? wc
of run is not sufficient, in the. on
ion of the average enginema4
warrant using a shorter cut.o&
cept possibly in transfer sen7ic. ti]
I:U
Take, a s a n example. a
locomotive having 25"x28" cylir
200 lb. working pressure with 9U th
cent maximum cut-off, giving a o th
nal tractive effort of 58,000 Ibs. re
increasing the pressure to 210 la
and limiting the maximum cut-a!
65 per cent of the stroke, the F CI
nominal tractive effort may be p
tained and 22.5 per cent of the s,
saved. There will be an addit' s
saving from the use of steam
higher pressure.
Both of these locomotives n1
operate with the reverse lever IZ
corner, both would do the same rbut the limited cut-off engine a(
save approximately 25 per cent of
fuel and water.
In the upper diagram of figure I
shown a t the right the U. S R
standard eight wheel switcber
which there a r e a large number
operation. The left diagram rer
sents this locomotive if built a i
limited cut-off, the major change
volved a r e a n increase iu boiler pr
sure of 25 lhs. and consequent
crease in weight of locomotir~
5,500 Ibs.
The tractive effort and horsey
curves shown by the dotted 1
represent the existing engine and
the full lines the increase in F"
and horsepower effected b v
change in cut-off and pressure.
In the lower section of the
gram the dotted line represent2 '
steam used by the cylinders for
existing engine and by the IuEI I
that flowing to the cylinder with1
ited cut-off. The former reach??
capacity of the boiler at anpr
mately 11 m. p. h. and the latter
17 m. p. h.
The dot and dash line gives '
percentage of steam saved by [Iing the cut-off, this being ~f
thirty per cent a t 2 m. 1). 11, ant'
per cent at 12 m. p. h. whlch is a'
the operatinq range of speeds
this type of locomotive.
It is very difficult to get ar
curate record of the fuel uaco
switching and yard locomotives
-I.,{
'
of work done. The records of
Interstate Commerce Conimission
- the year 1927 6 1 1 0 ~ that one of
largest Eastern roads expends
luel in switching and yard service

7
inother large Eastern road using
the same grade of fuel expends
. ' i O per 1,000 111s. of tractive ef'sl!t
rl.
It is evident that there is a very
variation in the method used
these roads in charging fuel to
, class of locomotive, for no one
tuld imply that the locomotives of
1" of these roads were only half a s
Ticient as those of the other
It is for Lhls reason that it is someKIP8 very difficult to make an acIrate analysis of the actual saving
fuel in servlce that results from
10 use of
a device, even though
iroretical cnlculations and test plant
d t r i clearly show that such saving
obtainable.
Taking lor example the limited
11bU principle, it is certainly allxent that with the cut-off fixed a t ,
)r 65 per cent of the stroke, less
am will enter the cylinder than
nuld be the case were the cnt-off 90
i cent, even though steam of somehdt hlgher pressure is used with the
iorter cutoff. Therefore, this difreoce in the weight of steam enterR the cylinder per stroke is the
Panure of the saving in fuel and
aiw which must result.
-,I[
The force to produce acceleratiou
i s the surplus power above that required to move the train against the
normal resistance. The Booster not
only provides surplus power to s t a r t
the train, but this power i s available
to provide a surplus to accelerate the
train up to its operating speed.
This is especially important in
switching service where many starts
must be made and where the capacity for rapidly getting the train up
to normal speed reduces the switching time.
Increasing the operating radius
means keeping the locomotive on the
job more hours per day. Replenishing the fuel and water supply ttrkeb
from the earning time. This may be
remedied in two ways, ( a ) by providing larger water and fuel capacity
and ( b ) by decreasing the amount of
water and fuel used per unit of work.
The latter method is the more logical
a s it releases useful drawbar pull
which would otherwise be required
t o move the large water and fuel
supply.
The limited cut-off switcher by producing a horsepower for 30 per cent
less steam make the huge tank and
coal box unnecessary and accomplishes this desired end without mechanical complication and with no increase
in the cost of maintenance.
reason is that in the majority of
cases the maximum power of t h e
smitcher is needed only occasionally
and should the locomotive be designed for its maximum power requirement the standby losses and the 10s:e s in fuel when working a t less tha!l
its normal rate would be increased.
The reduction of these losses and reduced maintenance is the gosl s e t by
all railway operatlng officers.
The increased efficiency of t h e
modern yard has contributed not a
little to the higher average speed O f
freight trains. Much confusion and
delay have been occasioned hy congestion in classification yards. and
modern methods by which the passage of cars through the yards is
~)racticallya continuous Drocess. reduces much of this delay.
T h e locomotive by improved acceleration and i n c r e a ~ e d operatills
radius has served to speed up the
service.
Both the Limited Cut-off and thc
Rooster a r e factors in improving .the
acceleration. The former by providing either larger cylinders or higher
pressure enables the locomotive to
pick up speed much quicker than
does a full stroke engine. To obviate
any hesitation in starting it is recommended that the maximum cut-off he
not less than 65 per cent.

The Locomotive B o o s t ~ r
Another feature which is being
lher widely Incorporated into t h e
~slgn ~f switching and yard locootlres is the locomotive booster apl i d to the forward truck of t h e ten1.
One of the major reasons for apfing the Booster to switching and
Ed locomotives is that it provides
rame power wheii needed which
old otherwise only be secured by
llding a more powerful locomotive.
is may not be feasible due to wheel
3 limitations and excessive standlosses. In the case of one road.
ril limitations made it imperative to
e an 0-6-0 type of switcher, but
~h their wheel load limitation it
c ~mpossible to
secure enough
ctive effort to handle the trains
ught In by their Mikado locomoes. The appl!cation of a reversiBooster to the tender truck gave
necessary reserve elPort without
reasing the wheel load. thereby
ving a difficult problem.
'he question which naturally SugLs itself is why incorporate a

Y o u can't afi'ord to slip a n d slide on

The "IT. S." G a l o s h has a longw e a r i n g gray or red sole-and

T
IMING the switching activities of hundreds of
trains a day is the responsibility placed upon Train
Director W. G. Waite. His important post-just outside of Union Station, Chicago-is one of the largest
electric switch towers in the country.
-
Waite depends upon his Hamilton t o tell when trains
are due to arrive and depart and says it has never failed
to keep accurate time.
-
Thousands of Railroad Men depend upon the Hamilton
watch to guide them in their important duties. They
have faith in Hamilton dependability and will tell
you if it's a Hamilton-that's
all YOU have to know
about a watch.
