~ plete power plant on
wheels, the problem of
burning fuel to produce power is
quite distinct from that existing in
the stationary boiler plant. The
locomotive boiler itself IS a COM
pete self fcontained unit, with a
furnace at one end, and a stack
and smoke-box at the other end,
and the entire unit is compacted
to conform to clearance limits inn
posed by the right of way. Be.
tween the furnace and the smoke
box is a shell filled with hues or
tubes, which closely resembles the
ordinary tubular boiler. The FIRE
box might be said to form an ex-
tension of this shell. 1t will be
noted from the illustration that the
tircboN is surrounded on all sides
but the bottom with water, there
by adding largely to the total heat
ing surface of the boiler. The lower
end of this water jacketed furnace
is occupied by set Of rocking
CRATES on which the necessary coal

is burned. One or more openings
in the center OF the back water leg
are, fitted with regulation fire doors
and provide access for feeding
coal to the fire. Fixed CRATES are
never used on locomotive for the
reason that it is necessary to IA
cilitate in every way the work of
cleaning fires and disposing of the
ash and clinker. For this reason,
the CRATES are placed in two di.
visions; the first division being ar
ranged to rock, aud the second di-
vision consisting of dead plate
which can be dumped. The rock
ing CRATES are generally arranged
with intermeshing fingers, so as to
break up clinker thoroughly.

in keeping down the smoke nui-
sance.
Rules for firing to keep down the
smoke might be given as follows:
Break all lump coal to a uni
form size, 30 that no Jumps are
over three inches In diameter
Add coal to the fire in small
quantities and at frequent inter
walls, distributing it over the en-
tire grato area so as to maintain
fire of uniform thickness.
Use the little and often method
of firing, as it pays in the long
run by reducing the total amount
of coal shoveled on the trip, al
though it may interfere with long
periods of rest on the cab cushions,
A good rule is to add the fresh
coal to the whitest parts Of the
fire. but at the same time carefully
avoid making any heaps.
Keep the fire as clean as pos
slble at all times.

It is almost universal practice

the locomotive is shut off the
source OF the draft is entirely gone.
To supplement the exhaust nozzle
at such times a steam blower is
placed in the smOkebox and 80
arranged as to discharge up the
stack, but this blower is non
automatic and must be turned on
and off by the fireman, according
to the condition of the fire.
The problem Of smoke prevention
will thus be seen to be much more
difficult with locomotives than In
stationary practice. Fire brick
arches will assist considerably by
compelling the gases distilled from
the front half of the fire to take
longer travel before they enter
the tubes, and also by presenting
an incandescent surface to assist
in ignition. Not only does the arch
assist in smoke prevention, but
also it adds to the economy Of the
boiler, and it is for this reason
that. it is coming into quite ex::
tensive use on a large majority Of
the railroads.
An enlarged combustion chamber,
made by setting forward the fire.
box flue sheet and shortening the
fues, assists by allowing longer
travel of the gases before they
enter the flues, and is used to some
extent. Hollow arches with air
ducts for Introducing additional air
at the point where the gases turn
to enter the flues have been tried
out with fair success, but are not
universal practice on account Of
the expense of maintenance.
Admission of Air.
Air admitted through the FIRE
door has a good effect in reducing
the smoke, and particularly at
times of locomotive inaction, but
as air admitted in this way is al
ways considerably in excess of ac-
tual requirements, the loss in
economy resulting therefrom is
quite serious. For switch engines
whore the work is extremely in
termlttent, requiring a heavy fire
and powerful draft one minute.
and the next minute having the
draft entirely cut off, the use of
steam jets in connection with an
auxiliary smoke-box blower has
greatly assisted in holding down
the smoke. Where these steam
jets are arranged to discharge
through tubes in the side and
back water legs and introduce ad-
ditional air through the tubes at
the same time, their use will give
still better results.
Both the underfeed and dis
tributing types of stokers have
shown excellent results IN helping
to eliminate smoke, but as they are
still IN the experimental stage it
viii be some time before they can
be looked to for much assistance

Accumulation of Ash.

The accumulation Of ash and

solutely essential that the fireman
give close attention to the CRATES.
II large clinkers form in any part
Of the fire it is nee essary that they

is working hard, the draft is Very
heavy, and great care must be used

are fused into a plastic state they
may be run down between the fin-
gers Of the CRATES, and unless

may become seized so that it is
impossible to shake them. Also

artificial draft; the exhaust steam
from the locomotive cylinders is
discharged through a nozzle In tho
smoke box, so arranged as to givo
an aspirator effect as it passes up
and out of the stack, and thus pro
duce a very powerful suction in
the smoke-box. This suction in the
smoke-box pulls the necessary air
for combustion through the CRATES
and fire into the irebox and thence
forward through the tubes. Under
the normal working conditions in
a trip over the road the draft pro.
duced in this way will average all
the way from inches TO inches
in the smoke box This high rate
of draft is necessary on account
Of the restricted CRATE area on
which the coal must be burned.
The restricted CRATE area is, of
course, due to the limitation i'm
posed by the right of way on the
width Of the locomotive, and to the
limitation imposed on the length
of the firebo1 by the ability of the
fireman TO throw coal to the front
end of it. In stationary practice,
it is customary to burn approx.
imately twenty pounds Of coal on
one square foot or crate per hour,
while in locomotives five times this
figure is common practice. 1t will
thus be seen that while one.half
inch of draft will suffice for sta
tionary boilers, ten times this
amount is necessary for the high
rates of combustion maintained in
locomotive service. In order to
distribute the draft uniformly
through all the tubes, various noz-
zles are used in the smoke box, ac-
cording to the size Of the loco
motive, length of tubes, etc.

Problem Difficult.

In order to burn the amount Of
coal referred to above it is neces"
sary that quite thick FIRE be car
ried on the CRATES. The size Of
the coal and the thickness Of this
fire react on the ability of the
draft to get proper amount Of
air through for combustion, and it
is for this reason that the prob
lem of burning fuel without
smoke and with maximum eff
cheney is much more difficult with
tho locomotive than with station
ary practice. The smaller the sizo
OF the coal the quicker will be the
liberation of the volatile matter
and hence the size Of the coal not
only introduces a variable into the
problem Of maintaining the correct
air supply, but also adds to the diff
fculty Of obtaining complete mixing
and ignition of the volatile mat
ter. Where the fire can be main
tanned uniformly thick over the en-
tire CRATE area and the fresh fuel
added evenly to the surface, there
will be the minimum disturbance
to the air supply and TO the proper
mixing and ignition Of the volatile
matter, but when coal is added in
heaps it blockades the air supply
through that particular part of tho
fire and also acts as q blanket to
prevent ignition Of the volatile
matter Of the coal. A thin spot in
the fire not only allows an exces-
sive air supply at that point but
also presents the danger that the
strong draft may pick up the fire
bodily and thus leave bare spot
on the CRATES. Also the intense heat
which results will tend to fuse the
ash into clinker at this nnint
