TIyHE above is an engraving Of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet OF heating suriace built upon
principle, namely, that Of stopping the rertcdl
circul1 tion, accomplished by means of two horizOn-
tai didphragms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. By this
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
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power.
We will guarantee that this boiler will shcw 30
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler of the heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do so, as long as 1t is
used, and we will back our guarantees with Gov
ERNMENT BONDS.
The durability Of this boiler is greater than any
other for the is that cold water Is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated as 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
boherwth coal or wood tho sparks neutralized,
aud have ever left the smoke-staek chimney
which in itself is most valuable advantage, never
before realized.
Contining ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties in want OF Steam Boilers to give us
call.
