Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to road-engines in which the boiler is arranged horizontally at right angles to the axles. The various locations heretofore assigned to the feed-water tank or tanks in this style of road-engines-such as the rear platform below the boiler, on the boiler, &c. are all more or less objectionable. In some cases the capacity of the tanks is necessarily limited, by reason of their location, to comparatively small size, so that they require frequent replenishment, involving much loss of time. In other cases their location disturbs the balance of the engine under certain circumstances, so as to interfere with the steering.
Claim:
A road-engine having; a laterally-projecting platform between the driving and steering wheels for the support of a feed-water tank. |
