Simple articulated locomotives are not "Mallets".[edit]
Describing these locomotives as "Mallets" is incorrect. Mallet locomotives were compound locomotives, whereas all 2-8-8-4s were simple articulated locomotives, with high pressure steam fed to all 4 cylinders. --Yankingeorgia (talk) 05:05, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This comment is mistaken. Anatole Mallet's patent covered two items - a system of compounding using 4 cylinders in two engines, and a system of articulation where one engine was fixed to the boiler and the other free to rotate. It's entirely correct to refer to an engine using the Mallet system of articulation as a "Mallet articulated" even if it's not compound. By the same token, it's incorrect (altho common usage) to call such an engine a "simple articulated", because there are many non-Mallet engines which are both simple and articulated (almost all Garrets, for example). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6030:44:1B6:90A5:EC7A:E5A6 (talk) 22:15, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
