n England in 1862,and also the more recent and still highly satisfactory Flaman locomo-tives of the Est. The form of the cast-iron chimney is seriously detri-mental to the aesthetic apearance of all these Oesterreichen Staats-hahnen locomotives. The location between the frames of such a large casting as that,having cylinders 20%-inches and 31%-inches with their valve chests,presented some difficulty. To accomplish this the inside-cylinders engineof Mr. Worsdell had the axes of the cylinders in a different plane; someGerman and Swiss locomotives have the frames bent outwards, andM. de Glehn, without bending the frames, built engines with two in-side 23^-inch cylinders by allowing a part of the inside cylinders toprotrude through an opening slotted in the side plates. In the Aus-trian locomotive M. Golsdorf obtained all the room desirable by thevery unusual Continental practice of placing the frames well to the out-side of the wheels, similar, it may be remarked, to the designs for com-

This arrangement calledfor a longitudinal frame plate in the middle as a central bearing forthe cranked axle, which is moreover of a very strong design. The cylinders are inclined from the horizontal in order to clear thefront truck axles of the cross-head guide bars. A distinct peculiarityof arrangement, necessitated by the various changes, is in the Heu-singer valve gear, the advance lever of which had to be driven fromsome other point than the usual one on the cross head. The motionis therefore derived from the end of the coupling rod ; and in place ofthe usual eccentric cranks for driving the links, a very large eccentricwas substituted. The valves are placed vertical and their chestsproject outside the frames. The main steam pipe is brought throughthe smoke box just above the high-pressure valve chest and the throttlevalve is very simpl
