Only in the caseof the Chinese financed and operated railway have Ameri-can builders been offered a cost-free hand, with the result that anAmerican design and style was adopted, and a thorough standardiza-tion of energy effected. Out of the 638 locomotives in ser-vice on all lines at that time only 15 five/2 per cent had been ofAmerican desi.gn and manufacture and on the Engli.sh,Belgian, and French lines, which operated at that time 365locomotives, or around 60 per cent of the total, onlveight, or approximately 2.2 per cent had been of American de-sign and manufacture.—Eastern Engineering.
