COAL ECONOMY
ON LAND AND SEA
Some time ago when the Caprotti locomotive valve gear was fitted to ten of the Claughton class locome- fives of the London, Midland & Scot-1 tish Railway, comparative trials were made with engines Atted with the ordinary valve gear running between Euston and Carlisis. The net regult was that the coal consumption on the engines fitted with the Caprathi gear represented a saving of 20
per cent.
It has been pointed out that if the average yearly coal bill of the Bri- Lish railways amounts to £15,000,000, a saving of this nature would repre sent an
of £3,000,000. a economy year.

The gear works under ideal conditions in an oil bath, and on examination of the gearbox and the cams no signs of wear were apparent. This was to be expected, as the makers claim that no undue wear will take place oven over a period of years.
It was found that the Beardmore- Caprotti vessel could be manoeuvred much more easily and faster than a vessel equipped with the ordinary marine engine. The racing of the
