The principal benefit of the Garratt design is that the boiler and firebox unit are slung between the two engine units. A further advantage is that the firebox and ashpan are not restricted in dimensions by running gear; the ashpan can have much larger capacity than on a normal locomotive, allowing longer continuous runs without needing to stop and empty the ashpan to clear combustion products ...
The Fitchburg engine (illus.) [ii] was one of a series of similar engines offered in various configurations.The steeple arrangement required a high ceiling to the engine house, but had two advantages: [6] it took up less floor space than a horizontal engine and it also required less complex masonry foundations beneath the engine.
For building: Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spread 1 cup of the sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Add a layer of 4 lasagna noodles. Add 1 1/2 cups of the sauce and spread evenly ...
