A general account with some discussion, of experiments made on the C. B. and Q. R. R. to determine the relative values in speed and power of various working dimensions in locomotives. The experiments were careful and elaborate, and should be published in great detail. (Editorials bearing on the same subject) (See also - Sept. 3, 1886; National Car and Loco. Builder, Dec., 1886)
