. What is necessary to do this? A. Take a monkey wrench and screw the inner sleeve down to the right to reduce the lift, and to the left to increase the lift. In reducing the lift you reduce the speed, and by increasing the lift you increase the speed. 10. Q. Is there any other method of setting speed? A. Yes. 11. Q. How? A. By removing oil box on the turbine cap and adjusting the nuts on the governor studs on the face of wheel. 12. Q. Is any provision made for operating the light with low pressure steam? A. Yes. 13. Q. What? A. An auxiliary valve is used which operates automatically at any predetermined pressure, which is adjusted by an adjusting stem at the bottom of the engine and which can also be adjusted while the light is burning. 14. Q. What kind of oil should be used in the "Buda-Ross" bearings? A. Cylinder or valve oil. 15. Q. What style of generator is used. A. An iron-clad type with no outside magnetism. 16. Q. How many fields in this generator? A. Two. 17. Q. What style field is used? A. Compound wound. 18. Q. What kind of wire is used on these fields? A. Deltabeston wire. 19. Q. Why is Deltabeston wire used in preference to cotton-covered wire? A. So that it cannot be injured by short circuits, for if a short circuit occurs and afterwards is removed there is no danger done to the insulation on this make of wire. 20. Q. Where are the fields located? A. One on each side of the dynamo. 21. Q. Why? A. So that they cannot be injured by waste oil from the ball bearing, or by water or snow. 22. Q. How should ball bearing on dynamo end be lubricated? A. By removing oil plug in frame just back of dynamo and introducing cylinder oil. 23. Q. Is it necessary to remove the top carbon holder from the lamp to remove reflector from case? A. No. 24. Q. Why not? A. Because there is no top guide to the carbon, as the carbon is guided by the clutches. 25. Q. How many levers are there in the lamp? A. Only one. 26. Q. What regulation should be given to top lever spring No. 308 on lamp? A. Top lever spring No. 308 should be adjusted as loose as possible and not have light go out standing still. 27. Q. If this spring was tightened until the light burned steady when the locomotive was at rest, what might occur when engine was running high speed? A. It might cause the light to dim down. 28. Q. Is there anything else that would cause the
