l be reminded in this description of the Class C design of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway lugs 2*4 ins. deep. While ample heating surface is pro-vided, no attempt was made to increase it at the expense ofcirculation about the firebox and among the tubes, or by anexcessive height of the crown sheet. In general, more weighthas been allotted to the machinery of this engine than is usual,and a high factor of adhesion (4.3) has been employed in anendeavor to obtain an engine which should be as free aspossible from failures and breakdowns rather than one of theutmost capacity for its weight. The tender is designed tobring all of the coal to the fireman, with the sides of thegreatest permissible height and fitted with iron coal gates.The center sills are heavy 13-in. channels and the side sillsstandard 10-in. channels. The draft castings are of caststeel, with Sessions-Standard friction draft gear at the rear end. Dm i vim i:, 1904 AMERICAN ENGINE KR AND RAILROAD JOURNAL. 155
