It generally means a case of disconnecting the injured side, and this means taking down all of the side rods on the other side, as explained in the section under disconnecting. * With the size of locomotives in use to-day, this is about all that can be done on the road in any case, but when it comes to roundhouse repairs, the manner of connecting the cylinders has quite a bearing on the case, as will be seen under that heading. With the cylinders bolted closely together, as in the Schenectady t...andem, it is not an easy job to get at the pistons for replacing the packing rings when it becomes necessary, even though hand hole plates are sometimes put on the cylinders for that purpose.
