AROHIBALD STURBOCK, OF DONCASTER, OOUNY OF YORK, ENGLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN LOCOMOTlVE-TENDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 40,715, dated November 24, 1863.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AROHIBALD STUR- ROCK, of Doncaster, in the county of York, England, engineer, have invented Improvements in Locomotive Engines and Tenders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the figures and letters marked thereon.
The main object of my invention is to utilize the adhesion derived from the weight of the tender as a power to propel the train in addition to that of the engine proper, instead of the engine, as under present circumstances, having the deadwveight of the tender to draw.
My invention consists in fitting auxiliary cylinders and engines on or to the tender, in connecting them through ordinary con nectingrods in the usual manner to the wheels of the tender, in coupling all the wheels of the tender, and in taking steam for the tender-cylinders from the ordinary boiler which supplies the engine proper.
My invention also consists in forming the Water-tank in the tender with a false bottom, and in leading the exhaust-steam from the tender-cylinders into the chamber between the two bottoms. This steam heats the water in the tank, and the steam which is condensed in the chamber runs into a pipe connected with the boiler feed-pumps, and is forced by the pumps into the boiler.
In the drawing, A is the pipe for conveying steam from the engine-boiler to the regulator for the tender. B is the regulator for supplying steam to the cylinders on the tender.
0 is the pipe for conveying steam from the regulator to the cylinders. D represents the cylinders; E, the exhaust-pipe from the cylinders for conveying steam into the heatingchamber F. G is the exhaust-pipe for conveyin g the uncondensed steam from the heating chamber into the atmosphere. H is the crank-axle, and I the outside cranks, coupled with rods in the ordinary manner.
Sometimes, instead of forming the tender with a false bottom, 1 cause the Waste steam to circulate through a coil or series of pipes carried through the Water in the tender. The coil or series of pipes has an outlet at the farther end thereof.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claiml. The employment of and fitting auxiliary cylinders and engines on or to the tender, and connecting them through ordinary connectingrods to the wheels of the tender, said tendercylinders receiving steam from the ordinary boiler which supplies the engine proper, substantially as described.
2. Forming the water-tank in the tender with a false bottom, and leading the exhauststeamfrom thetender-cylinders into the chamber between the two bottoms, substantially as set forth.
AROHD. STURROCK.
