Modern Transport Methods.—The picture shows the Clan liner, Clan Macdougall, discharging locomotives at Karachi. The engine, which is ready for the road, is one of four carried on the ship's foredeck from England to India—two weighing 106 tons, and two 90 tons each. There were also four tenders on the afterdeck, each weighing 40 tons. The engine shown in the picture weighs 106 tons, the specially-built "spreader” carrying it weighs 14 tons, the lower block 5 tons, and the three blocks together 17 tons. There is a four-fold purchase of 4-inch wire and a six-fold “topping lift” of 3¾ inch wire, the derrick, which is 61ft 6in, long, has a lifting capacity of 135 tons. —Photo by courtesy Capt. F. A.
