The first suggestions come from Laura Kilgour, 1i'ho wri teS; 11This yee..?: I have attended rallies at Castle Eowar·d; I-anc;3.rk, l:Tamham Park, Bur-to11 Constable,. Lambeth; Witton Ca.$tle, •Alexandra Palace,. Totternhoe and Expo. The· most ·enjoyable ones from my point of vie½ were at Castle Howard iri Yorkshire ·and Alexandra· P&lace in London. I can ·recommend- these ral2.iet:i to anyyoung.erithusiasts, because the engine·drivers there were very friendly and helpful, and the spread of various types'of engines there and at Peterborough (Expo) was most impressive." •

Many Steam ·Apprentices will have heard of the express ions "primi ng 11 and "dropping the ;)lug 11 • These e.ffectf3 result from having too much or not enough water in the boiler, and both are considered to be the mark of a bad engine driver or a total novice.
The boiler o~ a traction engine is rather like a huge kettle. If there is too much waterin it when i.t· ccmea to the boil, it cverflows. _On the other hand, i~ th~re is too :.i~tle wat2r one may ruin the element by overheating.
On a tractio~ eng~ne th2 cylinder block ~s normally placed on the top of the boil0r to~ard; the f~o~t of the engine. A glass tube at the back of the f:retox, tno~n as the ~auge glass, tel13 you the level of water in the bo:1er at the back ~nd a: the e~gice. Bec~~se tne boiler is, in effect, a lo"ng hor5.zontal tPbe, ttis level· .v.r!J.l cr.c1.nge acco1,dj_ng to whethe_r the engino is on the leve~,- going uphill, or downh~ll. If the engine goes uphLl_l-the water· level will be higher at the back than at the front; if 5.t goea dGwrit:i·ll the reverse is trus-. When the. tr-action engine is on level r,rounc! th2re s:J.ou7.d be a ::ipace above th8 water in th?. boiler ·whic.h is o-::1up5.enby. 3tec1rn. The cyL.nder bloclr. takes it.s stear.i from this space. Should the boiler be too ful.~ a: ~ater 7 th~re would be too little space for the st28.m. The cylinde:· b:J.ocl:: w;.LJ. then p:i.c~<::up water with the steam.
Bec?.use c-iter[Y):·.s a gas it c·.:! be compressed and 1.dll then expand again. Ir:. the normal v!ay :· steam e;oes :'.nto t.te cylincer on one side of the piston a~d expa~ds, puching the piston dowu th2 cylinder. That steam is then e:~haust2d out of the cylinder~ More' steam then eD.ters the cylinder on the other side of the pistoni push~ng jt, back up th? cylinder. Jhis cycle repeats itself again and again_when the steam engine is running.
Water, bei.r;.g a lj_quid} is almost i.::nposu;.ble·to compress,,and will thef~fo~e not _expand, either. If water is taken into the cylinder with steal:l, th:e eng;.i1e ~,·orks J.ers E:f:f"ic:i.ent.ly, losing a Gubst.antial amount of pow2r., If the er~.;:'..;.--icdee~ cc,n4:-inns to run it may rely on momentum to complete the two strokes of the r;yclc, T:1e v'ater L1. the cylinder can also cause damage, Vvhen a rr.::iss of ,_,rater j_f: moving quj.ckly it has the force of a hammer hittinJ t~e pict0n and alternate ends of the cylinder. 1he water can be removed; bow2ver, by opening tbe cylinder drain taps.
When steam is exhaus tec1 it is .1:i.1,:e a- jet of. hot air whi eh draws the ,smoke from tne fire" 1'voer.la steam a".ld vmter mixture is exhausted the water pick~ up soot from the smoke, and onlookers get soak~d in hot, dirty rain. So does the driver if thA engine has no canopy.
That is priming! One can also prime if t~e engine goes downhill. The unsuopectine novice is driving along a flat road with his gauge glass· ne2r:'...y full: when a downhill gradient approaches. All of a sudden, because the boiler is tilting downwards at the front end, tha water lowers in the gauge glass and the engine starts priming. The level of water has risen ,a-t· ·t·he fr-on-t o::Cthe .. engine and- has .come up to. .t.he.. steam outlet to the cylj_nder block"
Then ·the-re· i·s· -tne other e-xt~eme .w.hen.the bo i. le.r becomes empty of water, when there ·is· Gt·eam ·o::..-a !3'00d- fire. If .there was no safe.ty .. device the boiler would eventually explode. :::f you Ji.ave a thin piece of r-:,~al and he&t it up with a blowlamp it will bend ~nd distort. This effect plus .the internal increasing pres3ure of steam v·rould b-~ created if the boiler became very short of water but there was.a good fire going. The boiler would distort until the v.:eake,,t point suddenly fractured to allow the steam to es:;ape -:an explosion!
ii'ortunatcly:, 5.n Great Britain every f.,team engine, before it can be insured to.work over a. certain pressure in a certain volume, has to ~ave a safety d2vice called a fu3ibie plug. It is best described as a large diameter, short, bronze bolt w~~h a hollow middle, which i~ filled with
lead. The plug is usually positioned on top of the inner firebox. Should the water level in the boiler become too low, the temperature will rise and the lead will melt. The steam then escapes safely, extinguishing the fire. This :i..s ''dropping the plug 11 • Vlhen it happens you can do nothing until the steam ·has all escaped. Then the fusible plug has to be r~moved from . the fire1?ox; (usually the ash-pan and. firebars have to be removed to do this); the plug is then-refilled with.lead and refitted. Then the boil~r has·to be topped up with water before_you can start the steamraising ceremony.
Th~se are the rudimentary facts of two things you should avoid like the pl~gue when you have the cpportunity to be in charge of a steam engine, It is helpful to know about what should not happen, as well as all the things that you are supposed to do! When I first went on one of rny father 1 s steam engines ·1 spent too much time putting coal on the fire. My father told me to "look at the water in the boiler; you will soon firid out when you haven I t enough coal on: the fire. 11 1vleaning that the engine would ·stop on j_ts own without coal, but that without water it would.drop the plug.
