Mechanism Puzzles German Locomotive at Paris Exposition
The Krauss four coupled express engine built for Bavarian state railways features two bogie wheel pairs placed close enough to allow a third small wheel pair between them. The tiny auxiliary cylinders and wheels can be raised or lowered by a screw mechanism, enabling a temporary boost to tractive power equivalent to six wheels. A British engineer joked the device would move the loco around with the big wheels resting, but the designer denied this, explaining the mechanism increases cylinder power and adhesive weight proportionally to meet demand.
