This system, illustrated by Plates I, II. and III, is asimple and easily applied heater for cars. It is illustratedon Plate III. Steam is supplied to the cars by means of an ordinarytrain-pipe, with flexible couplings between the cars. Thistrain-pipe drains from the center t6 each end of the car,and at the middle point is a cross, 638. Two train-pipe valves, one at each end of the car, con-trol the passage of steam through the pipe, both beingkept open, except the rear one of the rear car, which isclosed to prevent the escape of steam. A small groove inthe seat of the valve provides for the continual drainingof the condensation in the train-pipe and avoids freezing.These train-pipe valves are controlled by extension han-dles, which may be readily reached from the steps of thecar.
