NNHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface, built upon
new principle, namely that Of stopping the uertcal
circulation, accomplished by means Of two horizon
tai diophrdgmS running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. By this ar
rangement there is maintained three temperatures of
water.
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend, and
return through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
In the third compartment. By this operation the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
way to the smoke stack, or chimney come in con-
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water. =" u u. =
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine, it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power.
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew so
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler of the same heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do SO, long it is
used, and we will back guarantees with Gov
ERNMENT Bonds
The durability Of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold water is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated it ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment.
We would especially call the attention Of Railroad
men to the following facts that while running this
and have ever left the smoke-stack or chimney
which in itself is a most valuable advantage never
before realized.
Combining ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties in want on Steam Boilers give us
