TUVHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface, built upon
principle, namely that Of stopping the vertical
circulation, accomplished by means of two horizon
tai diaphragms 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
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.
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine, it will supply steam for 100 indicated horse
power
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew 80
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 as it is
used, and will back our guarantees with Gov
EMINENT BONDS
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated as ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment.
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
to the following facts that while running this
bOilerwith coal or wood the sparks are neuraliZed
and none have ever left the smoke-stack or chimney
which in itself is most valuable advantage never
before realized.
