Weighing Locomotives
Weighing Locomotives.
Among the equipment of the locomotive sheds at King's Cross, London, is a device (of British design) for weighing locomotives. The device is in the form of a hydraulic jack which is placed in turn under each wheel of the locomotive it is desired to weigh, the weights obtained then being added together.
