I JAMES EDGE of 10 Rumney Road, Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
OR SEATING HORIZONTAL STEAM BOILERS" to be as
THE METHOD OF MOUNTING
follows:-
This invention relates to an improved method of forming the seatings of
horizontal steam boilers and consists in providing means whereby the travel of the
heat, smoke, and gases, is prolonged, by which considerably more heat is extracted
thereby increasing the generating power of the boiler. The gases froin the boiler
flue or flues are deposited in the flue at the back of the boiler from whence they
travel down one side towards the front end to an opening leading underneath the
boiler when they travel towards the back end. Under the boiler is provided a
partition wall of sufficient length to allow a passage at the back end and through
which the gases pass along the opposite half of the boiler bottom towards the
front end and back again along the side of the boiler to the chinney.
The advantage of this invention is that the heat and gases travel the length of the
boiler once more than hitherto, thus causing the same to be thoroughly extracted,
as well as that of producing a perfect circulation round the boiler.

I JAMES EDGE, late of 10 Rumney Road, now of 11 Churnet Street, Westminster
Road, both in Liverpool in the County of Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE METHOD OF MOUNTING
OR SEATING HORIZONTAL STEAM BOILERS," and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
This invention relates to an improved method of forming the seatings of
horizontal steam boilers and consists in providing means whereby the travel of the
heat, smoke, and gases is prolonged, by which considerably more heat extracted
thereby increasing the generating power of the boiler. The gases, smoke, and heat
from the boiler flue or flues are deposited in the Blue at the back of the boiler, from
whence they travel down one side towards the front end to an opening leading
underneath the boiler, when they travel towards the back end. Under the boiler
is provided a partition wall of sufficient length to allow a passage at the back end
and through which the gases, smoke, and heat pass along the opposite half of the
boiler bottom towards the front end and back again along the side of the boiler to
the chimney.
In order that my Invention may be more fully understood and readily carried
into operation I will now proceed to describe the drawings upon the sheet hereunto
annexed, the same letters of reference being used throughout all the figures to
indicate the same or corresponding parts of my Invention.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of a horizontal steam boiler mounted
or seated on my improved principle; Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of same; and Fig. 3
is a cross sectional elevation through line M. N.
The gases, smoke, and heat from the flues B of the boiler A are deposited in the
flue C at the back of same, from whence they are directed to travel down the side
"Hue D towards the front end to the opening E which communicates with the flue F
underneath the boiler. Through this opening and flue they travel towards the
back end of the boiler to the opening O formed at the end of the partition wall H
employed for dividing the flues F and G underneath the boiler, through which they
pass into the flue G and travel towards the front end of the boiler and up the
opening I into and down the side flue K to the main flue L, and on to the
chimney. The side flue K is provided with the usual damper P to regulate
the draught.
The direction the gases, smoke, and heat travel is indicated by the arrows,
shewing that they pass along each flue round the boiler.
Although I have shewn a two flued boiler on the annexed drawings I would
have it understood that my invention is applicable to others, such as, single flued,

page_text: "
Galloway," and other makes of horizontal steam boilers wherein the gases, smoke,
and heat pass through the same to the back end.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The method of mounting or seating horizontal steam boilers substantially as
described and as shewn on the drawings.
