Tendency is toward still higher steam pressure to obtain greater tractive effort and fuel economy; design of five locomotives which will carry steam pressure in excess of 300 lb. per sq. in., in Horatio Allen, ordinary firebox is replaced by two small diameter drums which extend forward over main shell and communicate with its steam space; design of jackets for exposed parts; in locomotive built for German State Railways 850-lb. steam is used first in centrally placed high-pressure cylinder.
