Unique amongst suppliers with its in house manufacturing capabilities, Polly is able to address all your model engineering requirements. Combining over forty years experience in supplying model engineers and a comparable time in the manufacture of renowned Polly kit build locomotives, we can justifiably claim to understand the needs of the model engineer. Furthermore we pride ourselves on the stock held, such that most items are available for immediate despatch. Separate catalogues are available detailing: Polly Locomotive kits, Polly Spares and Stuart Models. This catalogue combines the model engineers supplies and the Practical Scale elements of our business. Frequently in the recent past we have found customers not realising that the items required were available from Polly, but in the other catalogue. We hope you find this catalogue interesting and useful. The range of products listed is vast and whilst we are proud to be appointed agents by suppliers such as Loctite and Johnson Matthey, we are also pleased to be associated with specialist model engineering suppliers including, Dave Noble (3 cock water gauges, etc), Rob Barker (traction engine fittings), Dave Tucker (loco fittings) and others too numerous to mention. As we constantly strive to extend and update our range of fittings and supplies, please contact us whatever your requirements. All prices listed include UK VAT (sales tax). Customers for export outside the EU, may deduct the tax from the listed prices. VAT on most items is 20%, although books are not taxed. Prices are current at the time of publication of the catalogue, but are subject to revision in the event of supplier price increases. Postage is additional on all orders, based upon the costs incurred with the Post Office. This is a metric catalogue, and products are sold by weight in kilogrammes and length in metres. However, for the convenience of our customers generally working to imperial standards, certain dimensions (e.g. thread sizes) are quoted in inches or feet. Note: 1 foot is 304.8 mm and 1 inch is 25.4 mm. Details of how to order, together with an order form are provided in this catalogue. We have NO MINIMUM ORDER CHARGE and international postage is no problem.

The Standard Specifications for construction of 1896 required that a vertical curve of two miles radius be introduced between changes in gradient during construction. Such curves were important for preventing coupled axleboxes of locomotives from striking the tops of cut outs or horn blocks above and keeps below (as sometimes happened where a siding on a steep gradient joined another line without such a vertical curve).

TAYLOR UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1939 For lale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 50 cents ADVERTISEMENT Tlie scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collec- tions of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organi- zations and to specialists and others interested in the different sub- jects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. Tlie series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens and special collections, and other material of simi- lar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear vol- umes under the heading Contrihutions from the United States Na- tional Eerharium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

  • Passenger Locomotive
    228 JOURNAL OF THE INST. OF LOCO. ENGINEERS. THE MODERNBRITISH EXPRESS PASSENGERLOCOMOTIVE. Paper read before the Institution by F. W. BEESLEY (Graduate), Glasgow, on 19th January, 1922, at Glasgow. Paper No. 119." Between the locomotive built by George Stephenson and introduced for service on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1829, and the present-day express passenger locomotive there is " a great gulf fixed." In appearance the locomotive built by Stephenson will not bear comparison, for example, with the massive and stately express main line locomotives recently constructed. " Picturesqueness " has not been sacrificed to design, for no one, however un- initiated, can see one of these triumphs of skill and thought without a feeling of admiration. From 1829 up to the present day the power of the passenger locomotive has gradually been increasing ; twc- cylinder engines giving place to four-cylinder compounds, and latterly the three-cylinder engine has come to the front in the form of compounds on the Midland Railway, " At- lantics " on the North-Eastern Railway, and more recently the new 4-6-0 type on the Caledonian Kailway. The first problems which face the designer of one of the present-day express locomotives are the fixed restrictions as to height, width and length, these being brought about by bridges, permanent way and sharp curves. The loco'motive is made up of three principal parts :- (I) The boiler and firebox, where the heat produced is used for the generation of steam ; (2) The cylinders and valves, where the energy in the steam is transformed into motive power ; and (3) The frame and wheels on which the boiler and cylinders are carried, and by which the tractive force at the r'ail is transmitted to the drawbar con- necting engine and train.

REA, Member, Mehit., Ar;cntfnc Republic, October 20th, 1917. PAPER No. 55. Although the Author has not had the privilege of reading the papers on the Lubrication of Locomotives and Super- heaters, published in previous issues of the Journal of the Institution, in all other articles on the subject which have cwme into his hands he has been struck by the absence of discussion on the respective merits of sight feed and mechanical lubrication as applied to the fore ends. Efficient cylinder and valve 1ubric:ition was admittedly one of thc most important problems confronting locomotive engineers adopting superheated steam, and contem- poraneously with the use of the latter the mechanical lubricator sprang into prominence and was generally accepted as the only solution of the difficultv. With engines using saturated steam the hydrostatic lubricator had for many years done its work efficiently. How did it come about that an apparatus, simple, cheap, and reliable in action, and with no working parts, should bc discarded in favour of an expensive mechanical device3 It may be presumed that our leading locomotive men did not take such a step without due consideration of the prob- lem and extensive trial of the two systems. The author is open to correction, but believes he is correct in stating that of our leading English railways the only one to adopt as standard the use of a displacement lubricator in conjunc- tion with highly superheated steam is the Great Western, whose locomotives perform, on a very reasonable fuel con- sumption, what is probably, year in year out, some oi th, hardest work in the countrq.
