HARD AND SOFT COAL BURNERS
In the three classes of engines of Division II. certain differences occur between hard and soft coal burners. The print on page 68 illustrates the plan of the soft coal or wood burner. In the hard coal burner the fire-box is made longer and shallower; the rear drivers are brought farther forward, and the three pairs of drivers are arranged so that the distance between centres of rear and main drivers is the same as the distance between centres of main and front drivers. The point of suspension of the back part of the engine being thus brought forward, a greater proportion of the total weight is carried on the drivers and rendered available for adhesion, and the tractive power of the hard coal burner is accordingly somewhat greater than that of the soft coal engine. The rigid wheel-base of the hard coal burner is also lessened from 17 to 24 inches by the same modification.
CURVING.
All engines of this Division are built with a swing-bolster truck. The middle pair of drivers have tires without flanges. The engine is accordingly guided on the rails by the truck and the flanges of the front driving-wheels, and is found to pass curves without difficulty.
If preferred, however, the front instead of the main pair of drivers can have the plain tires. Both methods are in use.
STRAIGHT AND WAGON-TOP BOILERS.
All the engines of this Division are built with wagon-top boilers or with straight boilers and two domes, as preferred. Where the latter form is made, the throttle-valve is placed in the forward dome. The wagon-top and straight boilers for the same class are so proportioned as to give equal steam space and the same number of flues in both forms of construction.

ANTHRACITE COAL BURNERS.
For anthracite coal, a long and shallow fire-box is constructed, and the back driving-wheels are placed at the same distance from the main pair as the latter are from the front drivers. This reduces the rigid wheel-base to some extent, but retains the same weight on drivers.
CURVING.
The leading wheels having a swing bolster, and the middle pair of drivers having no flanges, the engine is guided by the truck and the front drivers, and is found to pass short curves without difficulty.
TRACTIVE POWER.
It will be seen that in engines of this pattern nearly all the weight of the machine is utilized for adhesion, only enough load being thrown on the leading wheels to steady the engine on the track. The tractive power of these engines is accordingly greater in comparison with their total weight than that of either the eight-wheeled C or the ten-wheeled D patterns, and they are, therefore, especially suited to working steep grades and hauling heavy loads at low speeds.
STRAIGHT AND WAGON-TOP BOILERS.
All the engines of this Division are built with wagon-top boilers or with straight boilers and two domes, as preferred. Where the latter form is made, the throttle-valve is placed in the forward dome. The wagon-top and straight boilers for the same class are so proportioned as to give equal steam space and the same number of flues in both forms of construction.

GENERAL DESIGN.
The plan of this engine admits of either straight or wagon-top boiler, and of the use, with the proper form of grate, of either anthracite or bituminous coal or of wood.
WHEEL-BASE.
The arrangement of the wheels is such as to permit the engine to traverse curves with nearly as much facility as an engine of the ordinary type with only four drivers. The leading wheels having a swing bolster, and the front and main drivers having no flanges, the engine is guided on the rails by the leading wheels and by the flanges of the rear and second pairs of drivers. It is, therefore, impossible for the wheels to bind on the rails. Engines of this class are run around curves of 400 feet radius and less.
TRACTIVE POWER.
The distribution of the total weight of the engine gives about twenty-two thousand pounds for each pair of drivers,--a weight no greater than is carried on each pair of drivers of the larger sizes of ordinary eight-wheeled C engines. The single pair of leading wheels carries only nine thousand pounds. This arrangement renders available for adhesion a total weight of 87,000 pounds. One of these engines on a recent trial hauled one hundred and fifty gross tons of cars and load up a grade of one hundred and forty-five feet with sharp curves, and two hundred and sixty-eight gross tons of cars and load up a grade of one hundred and sixteen feet to the mile. The pressure in the first case was one hundred and ten pounds, and the speed six minutes to the mile; in the second case, the pressure was one hundred and twenty pounds, and the speed seven and one-half minutes to the mile.
These engines are especially adapted to the working of steep gradients or where heavy loads are to be moved.
