To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hoiv should side rods be keyed? A. The engine should be run upon a straight and level piece of track and placed accurately upon the centers. The wedges should be so adjusted that the axles stand parallel to each other and at right angles to the frames. It is also well to have the engine under steam when this work is done so that the frames may be expanded by the heat of the boiler the same amount that they will be under working conditions. After the engine has been put in position all of the ke...ys in the rods to be adjusted should be slackened. The main bearing should then be keyed first, and the work done so that it can be easily moved to and fro by hand. The other bear- ings should then be keyed in succession on either side of the main crank pin. The engine should then be moved to the quarters and the other center and a trial made to see that the brasses can still be easily moved on the pins. If they can, the work has been properly done. The reason for placing the engine on the center when doing this work is that it is at this point that the greatest stress is put upon the rod, and there is no chance for the 7 8 LOCOMOTIVE BREAKDOWNS.
