INTRODUCTORY.
IN THE compilation of this new edition of our catalogue we have sought to bring together, in brief but comprehensive form, such
illustrated and statistical information relating to the various types, construction and performance of " Brooks " locomotives as will render it deserving of the attention and consideration of all persons interested in the subject of motive power for railroads. It embodies much that is descriptive of the marked advance in locomotive construction and design which has obtained in the closing years of the century, and it aims to give such accurate data as will enable intending purchasers to arrive at an approximate understanding of their needs.
In the construction of our locomotives we employ only the highest grade of material and workmanship, and all the various details are accurately finished to standard gauges and templets, enabling us to guarantee their interchangeability on all locomotives of the same class.
We have special facilities for furnishing locomotive boilers, tanks and cylinders, and are prepared to furnish duplicate parts of any of our locomotives upon short notice.
Especial attention is invited to the " Brooks Improved Piston Valve," which is now in successful use on many of the engines of important trunk lines. The efficiency and economy which this form of valve has developed by reason of its simplicity and perfect balance bids fair to result in its superseding, to a great extent, the plain valve and the more complicated and expensive compound types. We submit it, with full confidence, to the thoughtful consideration of railway officials and engineers.
The increasing demand for heavier power has required the addition of adequate appliances and machinery for its construction. In this direction we have spared neither effort nor expense, and our shops are now equipped with the latest and most powerful machinery obtainable. Within the last two years there has been added to the plant a commodious erecting shop, and the boiler and hammer shops have been reconstructed and greatly enlarged. A large percentage of the machinery in the works is operated by electric power, and the shops are amply equipped with powerful electric cranes, pneumatic hoists and tools, hydraulic flanging press, etc.
In thus enlarging our capacity for the manufacture of locomotives we have not lost sight of the increasing service required of them. While pursuing a conservative policy we have designed our engines along bold lines and in keeping with modern ideas and practice, and are fully prepared to submit proposals for locomotives of the most recent and approved types, suitable for any required service, and constructed either from our own designs and specifications or in accordance with those of railway companies.
We have ample facilities for supplying locomotives based upon foreign specifications if within the limits of American practice. This applies to both single expansion and compound types, and contemplates the use of copper fireboxes, brass tubes, screw couplings, etc., as desired.
All material and workmanship entering into the construction of our locomotives is rigidly inspected by competent engineers. The engines are, in all cases, fully erected and tested in running order on our own tracks, and, if for transport to a foreign country, are taken apart and securely packed for sea shipment.
We invite the correspondence of railway officials and of others who may contemplate the purchase of locomotives, and request that, in writing for proposals, full particulars be furnished as to gauge of road, maximum curvature, grades, weight of rail, fuel to be used and the kind of service required.
A cipher code will be found on the last pages of the catalogue for convenience in telegraphing.
Other codes used by us include "Atlantic,", " A. B. C., Fourth Edition," " Lieber's," and " Manufacturers' Export."
