what is the Driver doing ?

[Bruce VoelkerdingParticipant @brucevoelkerding91659]

there is a good YouTube video "6024 King Edward I attains 2000 (Draw bar horse power) on Wilmc".The video is by "psovmainline". It is a split screen with video in the cab and from outside. The question I have is: at 1:38 the Driver has just shut the Regulator and is opening it for maximum drawbar pull. BUT at the same time he does not let up swinging a lever underneath the Reverser Screw. The question is : What is that lever ??

Could it be the sanding lever and it requires stroking to maintain the flow of sand ?

thanks in advance,

Bruce

Yes, it's the sanding lever. He's possibly moving it on and off to regulate the amount of sand put down rather than leave it on all the time?
