 one on each side, working in a plane parallel to the track and inclined against the 

 horizon by about 30 degrees. The 

 engines turn a crankshaft secured to the 

 main frame square across the frame, 

 which in revolving turns the longitudinal 

 main driving shaft, centrally located be- 

 neath the frame, by means of skew 

 gears. All the four axles (two in front 

 truck aad two in rear truck) are driven 

 from the main driving shaft by rack 

 and pinion gears. The journals are on
