HUE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface built upon
new principle, namely that of stopping the vertical
circulation, accomplished by means of two horizon
tai dadph,dgms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. By this ar
rangement there 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
inence 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, chimney come in con-
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work, coupled with good
power. r,e
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew so
per cent. more power with the weight of coal
than amy boiler of the same heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do so, long as it is
used, and we will back our guarantees with Gov
BRNMENT 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
Tue 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
boierwith coal or wood the sparks neutralized,
and none have ever left the smoke-stack or chimney
before realized. =
COnhning ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties in want OF Steam Boilers to give us
call
