Fewer hot boxes on the cars of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railcoad company are being reported than at any time during récent years. During the week ending September 9 there were only 18 hot boxes on pas- senger cars reported on the entire New Haven road, whereas in the corres- ponding weelk last- year there were 40 reported, The reduction each week in com- parison with the figures for a year ago averages over 50 per cent, The improvement is due in ' large measure to a more rigid inspection of cars, journals and journal _bearings. The inspection regulations for New Haven cars have always been ex- tremely strict, but in order to pre- vent delays due to hot boxes while the cars are on_ the road, exceptional ef- forts have been made to reduce the total number of delays from this cause. - A comparatively few persons know anything at all about a hot box, its causes and its effects. The principal of the journal, journal bearing and the journal box is somewhat similar to the of the carriage wheel, and in be likened to the bearing mechanism of an auto- mobile wheei. The journal of a raik | way car is that part of the axle thal extends on the outside of the wheel. The axle and journals are one solid | viece. The weight of the body'of the car must at some point rest upon the | wheel truck. This point of contact s the journal. As the journal is a part of the wheel and revolves with it, the point of contact must conform with the curve of the journal. The part of the mechanism that rests up- on the journal is known as the jour- nal bearing. It is made of brass and lined with a composition of lead, an- timony and tin. It fits snugly over the upper half of the journal and a forged steel wedge or holds it in place in the journal bo: A hot box is the result of friction between the journal and journa] bear- ing. It is the function of the journal box to hold and distribute the oil be- tween the journal and journal bearing to prevent this friction and consequent trouble. These box e inspected at all terminals upon arrival of incoming trains and before departure of outgo- ing trains. special men being appointed for this task. Within the journal box is packed for the purpose- of lubrication oil soaked woolen waste. This waste is soaked {for 48 hours in specially prepared ofl, and allowed to drain for 43 hours to remove all_excess oil, the waste re- taining sufficient oil to lubricate but not enough to impair its It is packed in the journal box in three distinct parts. The first is a roll which is packed at the back of the box to prevent dust from entering the box from the rear and to keep the second or center packing in position. This second packing supplies the oii that continually flews between the journal and the beari It is placed in the box fairly locsely and on the under side of the journal. The revolving journal draws_ the oil from the waste wpwards but does not move the wdste itself. The third and last packing is a roll that is placed in the front of the box to keep the second .packing in place and to prevent dust from reaching the journal. Under ordinary conditions proper packing of the journal box with_ oil soaked waste will furnish ample lubri- cation. But as in everything else or- dinary conditions do not always pre- vail. There are innumerable things that may happen to cause friction ana heat. Grit or sand taking In while train is 1n motion is a frequent cause. It gets in between the journal and bearing, causes friction and heat, and unless discovered in time the waste catches fire. Another cause is known as waste grabs. This results from a small piece or end of waste getting caught between the journal and bear- tng. The danger from a hot box is that 1t may not be discovered in time. But with the stricc rules enforced by the | , The Wec New Haven tne danger is minimized | Jootlg of the to the logest degree.

Upon arriving at destination, journal boxes are inspect- ed for heated journals and those found unduly warm are marked with chalk as an indication to car repairers that journal has given trcuble and requires attention. , The labor entailed by this careful inspection is a considerable item on the New Haven road. With over 2,500 nger cars alone, each car having fi eight to twelve boxes, it requires a considerable force of inspectors and i ON FRIDAY EVENING.

Jitney Driver Thinks Latter Classifi- cation Is the Correct Ome. “Was he an ally spy or just a plain ‘nut?” is the question that a New London taxicab driver is askinz him- self in reference to a well dressed man of middle age, with a plethoric bank roll, whom he drove to the state steamship terminal recently. Tha chauffeur is inclined to the opinion that the latter classification of the in- dividual is correct after the inci- dents which he witnessed. Arriving at the pier, the stranger announced in determined tone his in- tention to board the North Cierman Liloyd liner Willehad, “mother ship” of the Bremen, which has been docked there for several weeks. Regardless of the protests of watchmen he per- sisted in approaching the gangway and but for the exercise of force on the part of special officers on duty would have succeeded in reaching the deck. Obliged to desist temporarily from his attempt to get on the liner, tke passenger directed his chauffeur to return to the city. There he paid him liberally for his trip and announced his desire to engage him for the en- tire evening, offering to settle in ad- vance for the job. The driver now re- grets that he did not accept the prop- osition. He agreed, however, to re- main on call but the call did not ma- terialize. The stranger confided to the chauf- feur that there were five sailors on the Willehad whom he wished to con- fer with at any price. Officials of the Eastern Forwarding Co. on learning of the affair stated that the men were at liberty to leave the liner any time and no person would have difficulty in interviewing them.
