Description: RailroadTreasures offers the following item: Train Shed Cyclopedia #18 Steam Locomotives 1916 Train Shed Cyclopedia #18 Locomotives 1916 Train Shed Cyclopedia #18 LOCOMOTIVES selected from the 1916 Locomotive Dictionary -- 88 Full size pages reprinted from the Original Edition ILLUSTRATED SECTION A definite plan has been followed to secure a logical arrangement of the Illustrated Section. It opens with general photographs of the various types of locomotives and continues with a section giving the general drawings of typical locomotives of each type. The illustrations in both of these parts are grouped largely according to the wheel arrangement of the locomotives. The boiler section follows, including general views and details. Naturally the front end, or smokebox, is covered in this part, including the superheater. Naturally also it develops toward a consideration of those features affecting the combustion, such as grates, ash pans, brick arches and stokers. The frames which carry the boiler form the next section, after which the course of the steam is followed as it enters the cylinders and is controlled by the valves and valve gear. After illustrating the details, even to the control of the valve gear-the reversing mechanism in the cab-the force developed by the steam in the cylinders is followed back through the piston rod, crosshead, guides, connecting rods, crank pins and driving wheels. Then follow the driving axles, driving boxes, shoes and wedges and spring rigging. Starting at the pilot, bumper beam and coupler, and passing back over the running board, the cab is reached and its construction, as well as the various fittings in it and on the back head of the boiler, are illustrated. Closely allied to, and following it, are the subjects of lubrication, injectors, check valves, etc. The air brake and brake gear are followed by such details as sanders, bells, whistles, headlights, etc. The tender and its details require a large section. Then follow sections on the electric locomotive and motor cars. The next section is devoted to the Master Mechanics' Standards. Tool equipments carried on a locomotive are illustrated; there are also tool lists for such equipment as used on several roads. Thus it may be seen that while the arrangement of the Illustrated Section is logical, a synopsis or table of contents would be of little use for ready reference. Practically, the definition section, which covers the locomotive in detail and contains specific references to the illustrations of the details, may best be used for this purpose. -- 200 plus photos and drawings Special Interest Notes Whytes' Classification for locomotive wheel arrangement Locomotives - Names of parts of locomotives Names of parts of Rack Locomotive Names of parts of Boilers Names of parts of Shay Geared Locomotive Most engine drawings include the following data: General data; Ratios; Cylinders; Valves; wheels; boiler.
