At the World'e mIr in Chicago, in 1893, the crowning exhibit in the transpodation line was Engine 999, of the New York Central, which hauled bhe Empire State Express a t sixty miles per hour. As illustrating the progress of one hundred years this line may be taken as typical. The line from Al'bany to Schenectady was opened in 1831, with a train of con- verted stage coaches hauled by the DeWitt Clinton, a n engine weighing sir tons, and making a speed of frfteen miles per hour. In 1893 Engine 999, weighing one hundred and two tons, making sixty miles per hour, and today engines weighing three hundred and twenty-nine tons. pulling trains of double the welght of those in 1893, and capable of making eighty miles a n hour. The DeWltt Clinton and Engbne 999 a re exhibits a t the Century of Progress Fair.

The "Royal Scot," a famous British train, ie on exhibition here also. This drain has the fastest schedule of any steam train in the world-88 miles a n hour.

The Germans have broken the record for speed on rails-143 miles per hour. This was with the propeller Rail Zeppelin in 1931. between Berlin a n d Hamburg, on a long stretch of tangent track. but this speed u-as too fast for track with curves, and now they have a stream lined train, elec- t~ ica l ly driven, Diesel motored, that makes a maximum speed of 100 miles Per hour, a somewhat similar train will soon be on the Union Pacific.

Other speed records are: An Italian Airplane, 426 miles per

hour. Sir Malcolm Campbell, 272 miles

per hour, in a racing car on a Florida beach.

Gar Wood, 124.91 miled per hour, in a speed boat on the DetroIt river.

About forty yeare ago the electric railway was developed, elect& traction became universally popular for urban, interurban and snburban lines -advantages were being clean and noiseless, and ability to traverse city streets, places where steam railroads would not be tolerated, but the electric line is passing before the bus and automobile on the parallel concrete

highway, and the future of electricity in the transportation fleld will be in ' the conversion of certain sections of steam railways to electric traotion.

At the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893 there was no hint of t h e automobile, and a t the World's Fair in St. h u i s in 1904 it appeared a s the "Horseless Carriage," but the perfec- tion of the internal combustion engine has led to the manufacture of antomobiles, busses and trucks by the m.il1ion and has practically revolu- tfontzed our transportation on land. Water Transportatlon:

I t is not known when man first used the waterways, but i t was doubtless at a very early age in his hlstory. for the ancient civiiizatIon was developed along rivers, and maritime countries.

It is thought that a floating tree or clump of driftwood first suggested to savage man that he too might be borne along by the current of rivers, and possibly a raft was the first form of waterborne craft. Then, perhaps, a log hollowed out with fire or stone axes. Another ancient form was the raf t bouyed up by inflated skins. which is still in use on the Tigris and Euphrates. Another form is the wklret basket covered with pitch, the kind of vessel in which Moses was exposed upon the Nile-still in use in Mesopotamia. Man first poled his craft along. or paddled with branches, so the first voyages were doubtless made on rivers and lakes. It is cklmed the first sea voyage of which there is any authentic knowledge was made by the Egyptians to the coast ot Greece.

The first boats were moved by oars --man power-then the sail, and with the use of a keel and rudder mam was embled to navigate against head winds and current. The sail was possibly suggested by the force of winds against the body or its action in bend- Ing trees.

W e have known that boats were developed tor extensive use a t a very early date, for Egmtian lnscri.ptions refer to them 3000 years B. C.

For cemturles water transportation was fa^ in advance of transpor,tation on land. We And the Phoenicians, later the Vikings, making long and

regular voyages in small vessels. The world was circumnavigated in small wooden sailing ships. Columbus reached America in a small frail craft, amd the Norsemen, centuries before him, in small carriers. World trade was established, and some of the greatest of naval battles were fought in wooden sailing vessels.

There were no speedy voyages, a s we understand i.t now, until the steamship was developed and mechanical propulsion used. Here, too, the development has been almost entirely within the last one hundred years.

The first steaimship to cross the At- lantic was the Savannah, in 1819, a steamer with side paddle wheels, but with a full mm(p1ement of sails. The navigators of that day were not will- ing to trust entirely to machinery.

Now we have great ocean liners, veritable floating palaces, and furn- ishing the moat 1uxur.ious f o ~ m of all transportatian, making speed of thirty miles an hour. Fast steamship travel has meant much to the progress of clvillzation, as It enables the products of different countries to be quickly interchanged, and contact of travelers with the people of different lands has done much for the international friendshllps whlch we s o highly prize, and upon which the p a c e of the world so largely depends.

For a time prior to the dsvelopment of the railway, considerable transportation in this country, and a great deal in other countries, was done on canals, and canals a re still in use in many countries for the movement of heavy freights-4111 In use in tbis country, but their traffic bas been largely diverted to the more rapid movement b y d l .

S OME few years ago the Frisco employes OP Afton, seeing A Contribution Entered in ~ ~ ~ ~ t ~ r ~ ~ ~ h the business of the town

being diverted to other channels; realizing that the "Good Road" m o v e m e n t was becoming a momentous question in the transportatlon o f merchandise into the town; realizing that unless some expedient action was taken on the part of someone, our railroad would lose the business which it was right- fully entitled to, and the forces taking care of that ,business would, of a necessity, be curtailed-a meeting was called and the employes of this station \were organized to do their part in recovering the business lost and to work and strive for more business.

A meeting was arranged with the merchants of the town. They were taught, if you please, exactly what OUR railroad meant to them and they were instilled-as we progressed with the meeting-with the idea and were finally sold on the proposition that OUR railroad was also THEIIR railroad. They were shown that without the taxes paid by the FRISCO Railroad-our schools could not be operated over six months in the year; that the county and city governments would suffer; that without these taxes, their revenue would be reduced (by reason of the shorter school term and the curtailment that would be necessary in the town government; that with a short school term they would lose some of their citizens who would move where better school advantages were available; that this would reduce their business; 'hat unless they supported the rail- oad that the forces would be reduced, rhich would mean a still further cut n their revenue. They were shown hat the railroad employe was a high ype citizen-that he took pride in 11s town, supported with civic pride 11 matters pretaining to the advance- oent of the town and that about 80% ~f the employes owned their own mmes and paid taxes; that 85% of he employes were church members nd supported the various churches; hat about 85% of the employes had hlldren and demanded for those hildren the better things in life, vhlch meant a higher class of busi- Less for them. They were then given i picture of the advantages of trans- ,ortation by rail as compared with ruck as t o the qulcker movement, he safe arrlval and the protection

The owner of one of our drug firms was in that meeting. He stated:

Prior to this time, part of his Joplin stuff had been received )by truck. The rates were just about the same.

The west locomotive shop a t Springfield, Mo., took the mechanical department merit cup from the west coach shop for the second quarter of 1933, with a record of .0210 casualties per 1,000 man hours worked. The locomotive shop was in second place in the first quarter. The north- e rn division jumped from flfth place in the flrst quarter, to second place in the second quarter, with a record of .0377 casualties per 1,000 man hours worked. The north car shop a t Springfield, Mo., remained in third place for both quarters.

In the contest for possession of the &transportation department merit cup, the Kansas City Terminals took the cup from the Western division, with .0160 casualties per 1,000 man hours worked. The River division placed second, while the Western division stood in third place.

The transportation, ,mechanical and maintenance of way departments all showed an increase for both the month and the period. The only de- creases were in the passengers and autoists. There was a 7.4 per cent decrease in the casualties for all non- employes.

NEWS of the FRISCO CLUBS Wichita, Kans.

Fifteen members attended the meeting of the Frisco Employes' Club of Wichita. Kana., held on August 10. Ray Carnahan, district salesman for the Mackie Clenions Fuel Company, was a welcome visitor.

Members of this club are actively engaged in the solicitation of freight and traffic for Frisco Lines, and H. B. Sigler, condudor, who reports new business secured at practically every meeting, reported having secured three cars of cereals from Battle Creek, Mich., to Wich'ita, Kans.; one car of coffee from New Orleans; one car of canned goods, Indianapolis to Wichita, and one car of canned fruit, Oroville, Calif., to Wichita.

S. B. Ramsay, car foreman, and E. N. Walker equally a s active in soliciting business for the club, reponted having secured one passenger each.

Motion was made and seconded that a resolution be drawn up and sent to the governor of the State of Kansas, requesting that all s ta te materials be handled by railroads, due to the heavy taxes paid by the railroads in the state of Kansas.

J. A. Moran, superintendent, sent a letter to the club members which was read a t this meeting, relative to truck violations and all employes were requested to be on the lookout for any violations and report same to H. A. Haas, general agent, so that he could handle with the praper authori- ties.

C. S. Underwood, division freight agent, and G. A. Haas, general agent, both reported excellent business conditions and a better feeling and more confidence than for some time, and requested that every member keep after shipper friends to secure all business possible.

Memphis, Tenrz. On August 9, members of the

Greater Traffic Committee of the Frlsco Lines a t Memphis, Tenn., held one of the most enthusiastic meetings reported for some time. Twenty-five members were in attendance and the meeting was held in the local freight off ice.

Sixty different items discussed a t the meeting, are recorded in the mhutes , ranging from tips on new business, business secured, suggestions for better handling, reports of

short hauls where long hauls might be secured, etc.

Every member of this club is actively working on solicitation, and one item reports solicitation on the part of a member of the club w h e ~ e he secured authority from the con- signor to wire the consignee, asking that the goods be shipped Frisco. Other reports covered shipments ar- riving in Memphis, consigned t o truck companies which were badly delayed in the store house of the trucking companies and steps were taken to secure the business by all rail route.

The report from this club is one of the most interesting received from any of the clubs for the month of August, and shows clearly the intense work being done by its members.

W. F. Corkery, chairman of the committee, asked that each member continue to be on the lookout for all business which might result in revenue for the Frisco.

Thayer. 1Mo. The president of the Frisco Em.

ployes' Club of Thayer, Mo., called a meeting of members of that club for July 31, and ten members were present. The meeting was held in the P. M. C. A. assembly room.

Members present discussed conditions pertaining to business for the Frisco a t Thayer, and a number of excellent suggestions were made. The main topic of the evening, however. was the discussion of plans for the Frisco booth a t the County Fair, to be held during September. The members decided that they would make it the best booth a t the fair, and committees were appointed to work out definite plans as to the exhibits.

St. Louis Girls' Club The June luncheon of the Frisco

Girls Club of St. Louis was held a t the Mayfair hotel on June 28. The affair was given over to the installa- tion of the new officers of the club. Officials of the road who were present included J. M. Kurn, J. R. Koontz, D. T. Miller, L. 0. Williams. J. N. Cornatzar and E. R. 0. Mueller. Each of them addressed the club briefly and wished the club continued success.

Hale succeeded Genevieve Vilsick a s first vice-president; Ethel Richter succeeded Corrine Uhlenhaut as second vice-president; Edna Dolen succeeded Katherine Kenny a s treasurer, and Viola Jakle succeeded Lil Kulage a s secretary.

Following the introductions, Lydia Peterson expressed the appreciation of the club members to the retiring oflicers for their loyalty and service to the clwb in the past year and presented each of them with a gift fram the club.

-Miss Mary Crane favored the members with several vocal selestlons, after which the meeting was con- vened.

Late Report6 I

The Clinton, Okla., Club reports that members ot that club secured three car loads of freight, six passengers and twenty-two LOL shipments during the flrst six months of 1933, This report, not included in the rec- I

l ord of business quoted in t h e August issue, brings the totals to 1,881 car loads, 6,641 IEL shipments and 579 passengers secured by the employe clubs of the system.


(Coirfivued from Page 8) "Locksley Hall" was published 111 1842, long before men had achieved flight, and in i t there is one of the most prophetic visions on record, where he foresaw the aeroplane:

"For I dipt into the future Par as human eye could see,

Saw tho vlsion of the world. And all the wonders that would be.

Saw the heavens fllled with commerce, Argosies or magic sails,

Pilots of the purple twilight Dropping down the costly bales.

Heard the heavens fllled wth shouting, And there rained a ghostly dew

From trhe Nations airy navies I Grappling in the central blue."

All this became reality in the I

World's War. 1914-1918. But Tennyson saw in his vision

ntore than the aeroplane and aerial warfare. and let us hope that this part of h18 great prophecy may soon be fulfilled:

"For along the world wide whisper Of the ~ o u t h wind rushing wavm,

With the standards of the people Plunglng through ths thunder stonm.

Ti11 ,the war drums throbbed no longer,

And the battle flags were furled, In the Parliament of Man

The federation of the world."

A YOUNG MOVIE ACTOR An exceedingly young but very

popular movie star has been visiting in Tulsa, Okla.. for the past few weeks. To many the name of Don Henry is well known, and the Frisco family claim him as a member through the service of his grandfather, Jerry hI. Allred, conductor for Frisco Lines. Don Henry has been rsiting a t the Allred home.

He has been i11 pictures since he was six months old and is now under contract to MatroGoldwyn-Mayer. He is the youngest child his mother says ever to be given an acting per- mit by the California Health Depart- ment. When he with his parents returned to Beverly Hills recenltly he was to enter Metro-GoldwyndMayer school for talented screen children, where together with twenty or thirty others he will learn dancing and con- versational French and Spanish in preparation for children's Alms to he released abroad.

When Don Henry was six months old he won the title of the most attractive baby in Los Angeles in a contest sponsored by a Los Angeles news- paper. M-G-M immediately offered him a six months' contract so that he

might appear with Eleanor Boardman in "Great Meadows". Don's mother stated no one knows the infinite care and patience required to work with children i n pictures. I n "Great Neadows" he was to .be photographed as Miss Boardman laid him asleep in his cradle. Dozens of times his mother got him to sleep and then laid him in Miss Boardman's arms and just as many times he opened his eyes and cried. It took four days to make that small scene. Later when he played with Constance Ben- nett he was on better behavior.

Little Don Henry doesn't mind playing with grownups any more. but he would rather act with children his own age. H e likes to dress up in costume and have makeup put on his face. H e sits still while he is being made up then takes a mirror and laughs wisth glee a t his reflection.

Mrs. Ascher stated the Califo Health Department safeguarded I

dren in pictures and that the stu themselves surround them with ey care and makes everything as pl ant for them a s possible. Childr reels a re especially popular abb~ and for t h a t reason baby Thesp are being taught French and Spa] in the studio schools.

M e Break Yet The same knobLy old Yankee was in

his garden one morning when the town's religious zealot, passing on horseback called: "Brother, have you made your peace with God?"

He didn't hear and inquired, "What say?"

M7hen he finally heard the question he replied, "We ain't come to no open break yit."

T H E END "Give an example of period furni-

ture." "Well, an electric chair, because it

ends a sentence."

S E L L I N G T H E W E A T H E R "I t l~ought so. N o w they've started

sellirzg the u~eatlrer." "What do rot4 ntearr, sellirrg tire

~reat l~cr?" "Lookit that s igrc'Arrgr~st Frcr $ale.'"

(Nat'l Dixie Booster)

I Heard It "Sir, pour car is a t the door." "Yes, I know, I hear it knocking."

HOW MUCH "I came i n here to get something

for my wife." "What are you asking for her?"

(Yowl)

.VO C O M E B A C K Doctor: "Yorr did a very bod job on

iug zrnlk. It's all covered w i t h dirt and g ravel."

Mike: "Yes , doctor-, and n lot of yortr jobs arc cozvrcd with dirt nrrd gravel too."

No Need "What do you mean by 'super-

fluous'?" "Aw, something unnecessary, like

'mill you' in 'will you have a drink'?"

.IlOST E V E R Y T H I N G "I our a praclicnl farmer. I cart plozi~,

reap, ~rrilk cows, shoe a horse-in fact I sliorrld like you lo tell mte orre thirig aboi~t a farm which I canwot do."

F o r m v , edging for the door: "Cari p s lay an egg?"

(d'larqtcctte Lrrbricotor)

A Suggest ion t o Those Who K n o w How R a i l r o a d s

S h o u l d Be R u n

A Minnesota Editor moraliz. es thusly:

"If we could all switch busi- nesses all the way around for just one week, we'd be a lot more sympathetic of the other fellows' problems and know a lot more than we do at present about the cause of his short- comings, and of his apparent failures. Let the banker sell prunes, the grocer pull teeth, the dentist run a garage, the garage man edit the paper, the editor run the bank (that's the biggest jump of any of them!) for just six little work days and we'd all have our eyes so wide open to what the others a r e up against that w e would never have the courage to criticiae. nor would we be unsympathetic again. Then if the whole ca- boodle of us were to move on various farms and operate them for another six days per each, we'd all be so wise and understanding that the peace and har- mony prevailing would make this little old conlmunity just about the best place in the world to live. It can't be done. of course, but we could take the thought to ourselves that we don't know anything about the other man's job, and concede tihat for all we know, he is handling it in good shape."

(XZwaukce 3fagrz:ilae)

On the High C's

The flood increased so ra,pidly that many of the townspeople along the river bank were forced to cling to the first thing they could lay their hands on. A musician, unable to locate a boat, rode down the river on his bass viol.

"His wife," said the music critic covering the event, "accompanied him on the pinno."

A CHOICE

"My son," began his fond parent. "do you realize tha t you w i l l soon be nine years old? Have you by any chance decided upon a career?''

"What's a career, daddy?" asked Junior.

"I meant t o ask if you have decided what you want to be when you grow up?"

Junior pondered a moment and then replied, "Yes, Daddy. I want t o be an Indian."

"An Indian!" gasped the father, "Great Scott! Why do you want to be an Indian?"

"Because," the boy answered, "when you're an Indian you don't have t o wash your face and hands and no- body can te l l I f your neck's dirty, and i f you don't want t o ta l k t o people you just grunt."

Acrimony i n a Name

' The conductor and a brakeman on a Montana railroad diget as to the proper pronunciation of the name Eu- relia. Passengers are often startled upon arrival a t this sLatlon to hear the conductor yell:

"You're a liar! You're a liar!" Then from the brakeman a t the

other end comes the cry: "You really are. You really are."

-From the South China Morning Post (Hongkong).

K I N D W O R D S Trozvlirrg Mart: "Waitress, all I want

for breakfnst this nrornirtg is two sof t boiled eggs, a crip of r o f e e , and a fern kbrd words."

The waitress retrtrwd udlr his order. whereupon the trt~velirrg man said:

"Well , here arc the eggs and the cof - fer. Orrt where are tlic kind words?"

Ii'aitress: "Doa't eat thrrri eggs."

CROAK YET?

Henry: "Did you hear that J i m got poisoned eating chicken?''

John : "Croquette?" Henry: "Not yet, but he's pretty

sick."

Here in Chicago, celelwating one hundred years of Its history-all of its history to date-in the heart of the Nonth American Continent and the center of the Prairle States, we may well visualize the condition of one hundred year8 ago. The country wa.8 being settled u p in advance ot transportatbn, no railways, no high- ways, mere trails across the prairies and Lmpassable a large part of the time, and when we think of these God fearing men and women, who laid the foundation of our present prosperity and culture, our pioneer ancestors. and a s we contemplate the hardships they endured, and largely by reason of lack of transportation, we have for lthem a feeling of admiration and reverence, and we sometimes wonder i f we are worthy descendents of people of such heroic mold.

Other investigations among railroad men in yards, round houses, terminals and shops reveal similar majorities for Edgeworth. Why? Because railroad men, among whom the pipe is the most popular smoke, know pipe tobacco. They find in Edgeworth the pick of the choicet pipe tobacco, blended by men long experienced in looking out for pipe smokers' pleasure.

MAINTENANCE EXPENSES CAN BE COh TROLLED BY LOCOMOTIVE DESIGN

By H. J. TITUS

T HE control of maintenance expenses s tar ts with the design of the locomotive. An accurate

knowledge of these expenses offers the best solution to controlled maintenance of locomotives. By no other method can accurate control ever be obtained.

Of all the various expense items in connection with railroad operation, that ot maintenance of equipment is of the first magnitude. The importance or thls item is fully brought out by the records wherein this expense for class one roads amounts to about one billion dollars annually or 26 per cent of the total operating expense. Of this total maintenance of equipment expense, that due to the maintaining of locomotives amounts to about four hundred million dollars annually. It is the largest single Item in connection with the direct train operation expense, being greater than the expenses of wages to train crews or the cost of fuel for train operation.

The importance of locomotive maintenance is even greater when measured by the cost of maintaining a n individual class of locomotive, wherein with existing methods of operation and maintenance, the average expense for a shopping period early in the life of a modern locomotive may vary from $20,000 to $35,000, representing from 20 to 35 per cent on the original investment. With the increasing age of this equipment, i t is very possible that even a greater expense might be involved.

Because of the vast sums which are expended for maintaining locomotives, i t is apparent that serious consideration must be given to the absolnte control of these expendi- tures. To control these expenses i t is necessary to go to the very foundation, that of locomotive design before the locomotive is ever built. In this consideration of design, it is important that a thorough understanding be had of the variations which may be expected in the actual expense for maintaining locomotives and how these expenses a r e affected by variations in the design of the locomotive.

When a piece of equipment is required, it is not suffkient to consider only the capital expenditure which will be Involved. It Is also necessary t o consider the various expenses which will go into the operation of

the machine during its entire useful life. This is particularly true of locomotives, wherein, the locomotive yielding the greatest benefits for the total money involved during its useful life should actually be the most acceptable piece of equipment. T h e capital investment in future locomotives may be greater or less than i t has been in the past, but the upkeep or maintenance expense should be the deciding factor, inasmuch a s this factor will operate during the entire useful life of equipment, and in many cases will exceed several times the original investment i n the equipment.

But if progress is to be made i n the control of maintenance expense, it is essential to know just what these expenses have been in the past. The maintenance expenses of locomotives will vary with the use, power and possibly age of the locomotive, irrespective of the types employed. These expenses a r e usually given a s the total cost per locomotive or the cost per locomotive mile. The average amount expended on class one roads is about $6,600 per locomotive per year, or approximately 22% cents per locombtile mlle. Now, the total cost annually does not actually take into consideration either use o r power. I t is the average cost of all locomotives, irrespective of the type of work to which they a r e put. The cost per mile in- directly measures the use of a locomotive, but does not take into consideration the power output of the locomotive. Obviously, the expenses

of maintenance, as usually obtained, are not of sufficient value for comparative purposes, let alone for predicting future expenses, a s they do not measure all factors. This is em- phasized when attempting to predict definitely the expense for maintaining a partlcalar type of locomotive.

In some instances the total maintenance expenses have been separat- ed as between different classes of locomotives. Under these conditions they are usually presented as the annual or monthly average for the particular class of locomotive. While these expenses would be far more valuable than the others previously mentioned, they would contain a time element, which would have an ad- verse influence and, in addition, would be seriously afPected by the shopping policies pursued on the particular road. In many instances these expenses will not actually reflect the true conditions for a given class of locomotive, the expense being either too high or too low, dependent almost entirely on the shopping policies adopted for the class of locomotives.

Under these conditions it is appar- en! that if progress is to be made through predicting the expense nhICh wit1 actually occur with a given class of locomotives before It Is even built, then these expenses must be so obtalned and presented as to give a true picture for particular conditions. The only real basis on which comparisons o r predictions of maintenance expenses may be made would be that which takes into considera-

m the individual locomotive for a opping period. These expenses 1st include the classified, unclassi- d and running repairs. After ob- Inlng the maintenance expenses of :omotlres under these conditions, ey may then be correlated with e use, power and age of the loco-

motive.

The modern locomotive, in many ways, now utilizes the principles found in central power stations. In the majority of locomotives, however. there is one great diEerence. The power units a re not, in principle, similarly designed. In central station operation, one main unit is designed and operated to take care of the normal operating conditions, while for the peak load requirements a supple mentary unit would be available. With comparable conditions existing on a locomotive, the main cylinders should be so designed as to take care of the normal operating reqnire- ments, while for the peak load conditions o r the starting range of the loeomotive, the Booster would be employed. The only fundamental basis which warrants such a design is the economy which can be produced from the operation. In view of the fact that the maintenance expense of locomotives depends upon use, power and age, i t would appear if any economy results from such a design of locomotive that it will be reflected in the item of locomotive maintenance. These thoughts have led to studies of the effects produced 3n locomotive maintenance by the type of power when taking into con- slderatlon the Locomotive Booster. In thwe studies the maintenance of individual locomotives over a complete ahopping period has been utilized as a starting point.

At times when new power is con- ~ idered for a particular operation, the

size of power required to handle the desired train loadings, as well as the allowable weight per axle are specified. From this specification of conditions the designer must produce a n efficient locon~otive, giving a maximum of use and power for a minimum of maintenance expense.

The use or mileage between shopping periods may - ~. -1 be affected in a number o f ways, which, in turn, will affect maintenance expense. Perhaps one of the greatest effects will be produced through the

. shopping policies pursued. Other ma-

terial effects can be produced through improvements in the design and the use of better materials in the locomotive. Examples such a s the unit cast steel engine bed, cast steel tender frame, alloy steel boilers, alloy rods, tandem nlain rods and improved materials In wearing parts, all make for better use of equipment in that

or drivers. portions of the cylinders Any one of these factors can be altered by the designer, but there d l 1 be a

proportionate change in the power unless other factors a re changed pro- portionately so as to restore power. Thus, the plston thrust may be reduced through either a reduction in pressure or a reduction in the cylinder diameter. The resultant effect will be a reduction In the tractive effort of the engine over the starting range.

With the weight per axle limited, i t is possible to obtain the mmimum power per locomotive unit only through the combination d maln cylinder and the Booster. If under the same limitations the train loads handled only require the maximum power which may be developed by the locomotive cylinders alone, then it is possible to also obtain this same power through a combination of the main cylinders and the Booster. Obtaining the desired maxfmum power in this manner will obviously make i t possible to reduce the piston thrust of the main cylinders as well as reduce the weight on drivers. Obviously,

the total mileage between shoppings may be extended.

A typical example of these possi- bilities is had in the case of tandem rods, wherein one road made an- * . plication to exist- , . .. . . ing power a n d . - \ .G

- . - . . _ . m a d e a djrect . ' . . ---- comparison w i t h ordinary rods. The Ta~rdem Main Rod Drive engines with the tandem main mds required 8.015 per mile less expenditure in materials and labor than the engines with ordinary rods. Xa addition to this actual saving in maintenance, i t was found possible to extend the annual mileage and mileage between shoppings by a substantial amount. Thus, through improved design the use of the power unit was increased which, in turn, made it possible to effect a saving in the maintenance expense.

if there a re no weight restrictions, and It were possible to increase the number of drivers without limit, i t would always be possible b obtain the same power from the main cylinders of the locomotive as could be obtained from a combination of main cylinders and Booster. I t is apparent that the same total power per locomotive unit may be obtained in either of two ways a s long as the power Is not limited by w e k h t restrictions. In one

Effect of Power on Locomotive case it kt1 be obtained through a

Maintenance Expense main cylinder and Booster combination which bear8 .a marked similarity

W h e n t h e in principle to central station prac- weight per axle tice, and requires a minimum weight of a locomot~ve per locomotive. In the other in- is limited, t h e stance, the maximum power would tractive e ff a r t be ~ b t a i n e d only through the main available in the cylinders. starting r a n g e The operating range of a locomo- is limited elther t h e Is defined a s that portion where- through the pres. in the power is dependent not only

I s u r e permitted on the mean effective pressure, cyl- on the boiler o r inder proportions and driver diam-

I The Locontotive Booster through the pro- eter, but also on the capacity of the

boiler to furnish steam. In this range the mean effective pressure is affected by the boiler capacity, the speed and the cylinder dimensions, and, therefore, a change in any one of these variables will produce a change in the power. A change i n the boiler pressure will obviously produce a proportionate change in the power. Thus, if a locomotive is s o designed to give a predeter- mined amount of power in the s tar t ing range by including the Booster a n d reducing t h e piston thrust. then i n t h e operating range there will be a reduction i n p o w e r f r o m that obtainable had the power in the starting range been obtained s o 1 e l y from the main cylinders. I f the power i n the s t a r t i n g range f s derived from the main cylinder - Booster c o m-

the main cylinders of a locomotive. Consider, as a n example, a modern

locomothe with which it is desired t o obtain a minimum of expense. There a re two possible ways of obtaining tho power in the starting range. either of which a r e satisfactory under normal conditions, especially slnce the latest Boosters a r e equipped with roller bearings and may be used for

of 2 m. p. h. on a level track, under Identical conditions of loading. The relative advantage in obtaining the power of the locomotive in any one of these ways can readily be obtained from exhibit "C".

The forces on the frames a t the axle centers on the leading side of the locomotive amount to 330,000 lbs. for curve "A", 3000.00 Ibs. for curve

bination, wherein m a i n cylinder piston thrust is reduced, it is possible to obtain the maximum power in the operating range for this combination by creating reduced piston thrust through a reduction In the cylinder diameter. In the operating range, the mean ei. fective pressure under these conditions will be substantially greater than had the reduced piston thrust been obtained through a reduction i n boiler pressure. In this manner i t is possible i n the operating range to obtain practically the same power for the locomotive irrespective of the method employed in obtaining the necessary 'power in the starting range. The selection as to the method of obtaining the desired power must take into consideration the economic benefits which may be derived.

Obviously. in the case of a Booster- equipped locomotive there would be a possibility of saving weight on drivers, with a resultant reduction in t h e capital expenditure involved in the locomotive. This would be onset, of course, by the capital expenditure in t h e Booster. The other important source of possible savings to be derived by the selection of power arises from the reduction in maintenance expense because of reduced power in

Exhibit "E"

cornparativelj great dlstances a t nominal speeds.

On exhibit "e" a r e presenled the power curves to be obtained from this locomotive by the two methods. Curve "A" shows the power for the locomotive, which considers only the main cylinders for the production of power in both the starting and operating range. Curve "B" shows the power for both the starting and operating range, when the main cylinders of the locomotive a r e so designed in combination with the Booster that the power a t 12% m. p. h. is identical to the power of the locomotive as shown by curve "A". In this connection i t will be noted that t h e power of the locomotive and Booster combinstton exceeds that obtained from the main cylinders only a t speeds under 1214 m. p. h. At 40 m. p. h., which is the usual operating speed. St will be observed that there is a reduction in power in curve "B" of 3.9 per cent. Curve "C" shows the power of the Iocomotlve and Booster combination with the power a t 5 m. p. h. equal t o that shown for the locomotive represented by curve "A". At 40 m. p. h. t h e power, as shown by curve "C", is 5.8 per cent under the power a s s h o ~ - n by curve "A". This loss in power in the last case would be equivalent to a reduction

'W', and 290,000 Ibs. for curve ,‘C". Assuming 80,000 miles between shopping for the locomotive in all instances, studies based upon locomotive p e r- formance r e c- ords show t h a t the total e x - penditure f o r m a i n t e n a n c e will be $20.500 fo r curve "A", $16,500 l o r curve "B", and $15,500 f o r curve "C". In the locom~tlves w h e r e i n the Booster is used, the m a i n t e - nance expense w i l l b e in-

creased by $400, due t o the upkeep of the Booster. The total expense involved in maintaining the Booster equipped locomotives will be $16,900 for curve "B" and $16,900 for curve "C". The saving In maintenance for the shopping period. a s compared to the locomotive without Booster, ehown by curve "A". will be $3,600 for curve " E and $4,600 for curve "C".

There are other features entering Inla the design of a locomotive which may be analyzed in a similar manner. The important fact i s that it is entirely possible to predict acctlrately from the past performance the pas- sible savings for any alteration in the existing design of the locomotive. This is important, a s It %Ves a definite means of controlling maintenance expense which s tar ts with the orie;lnal conception of the locomotive nnd continues dltrinq Its entire useful life. A complete conception .of the part taken by locomotive design cannot prevail without a thorough understanding of its exact In- fi oence on the maintenance expense. By no other method will i t be ws- sible ultimately to reach the desired control of malmtenance expense and obtain the maximum economic benefits from the use of capital.
