be iuiported from France for use on the testing plant. German manu- 

 facturers are to send locomotives equipped with superheaters. The com- 

 ing to this country for the purpose stated of these typical foreign locomo- 

 tives is a matter of more than ordinary significance. The American 

 locomotives selected for test will represent different types of modern 

 freight and passenger engines. 



It is expected that a test will be started each day between eight and 

 nine o'clock in the morning, and will be continued for from two to four 

 hours, depending upon the conditions of running. Any engineer, there- 

 fore, interested in locomotive testing may see a test in progress by visit- 

 ing the Transportation Building during any morning of the Exposition. 



It is proposed to have the results obtained from all the tests given 

 publicity by means of bulletins, which will be issued from time to time 

 by the Pennsylvania Company, and which will be sent to the technical 

 press and to individuals under conditions yet to be announced. Bulletin 

 No. 1. describing the organization and the methods has already been 

 issued.
