It was designed and built by GeneralForeman A. G. Elvin, now of the Hunt-ington shops, prior to his connection withthe latter place. Fig. I shows a little3JA x 6-inch engine with a valve motion ofthe Corliss type, mounted on wheels so as the expense involved. The engine is builtup from picked-up parts; the cylinderbeing made of a rod bushing, and thevalve seats out of oil-cup bodies; theonly really new part being the bed.
