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.

  • Some Notes on the Working of Superheater Locomotives with Special Reference to Lubrication
    JOURNAL O? THE INST. OF LOCO. ENGINEEHE. 3 Some Notes on the Working of Superheater Locomotives with Special Reference to Lubrication. ?&u Read bc,'orc the Inrtftution by J. H. 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.
