PREFATORY.
The dimensions given in the following Catalogue are for locomotives of
four feet eight and a half inches gauge, unless otherwise stated.
The _loads_ given under each class are invariably in gross tons of
twenty-two hundred and forty pounds, and include both cars and lading.
All the locomotives described in this Catalogue are sold with the
guarantee that they will haul, on a straight track in good condition,
the loads stated. Their actual performance under favorable
circumstances may be relied upon largely to exceed the figures given
in the guarantee.
The feed-water for all locomotives specified is supplied by two pumps,
or one pump and one injector. One or more injectors can also be
supplied in addition to the two pumps, if desired.
