PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Constructing Boilers and Connections thereto
for Generating and Regenerating Steam.
We, THOMAS WHITE, Thorpe Hesley in the County of York, Engineer-JAMES
WILLIAM INNES, 3 George Street Sheffield, in the County of York-Accountant, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
―
It consists of a cone-shaped internal division (a) to vertical boilers-and a wedge
shaped internal division to horizontal boilers surrounded by a smoke flue (b) and water
jacket (c) in the case of vertical boilers and with a longitudinal smoke flue and water
jacket in the case of horizontal boilers, of a tube or tubes from the top of the boilers
along the length of the boilers outside the plates and through over or under the furnace
and so on to the outlet with cock pressure guages between top of boilers and furnace
and between furnace and outlet, the tubes to be of the same or of different diameters in
the same boiler and arranged according to the probable requirements of the boiler which
tube or tubes may decrease and increase in diameter as they approach and pass through
over or under the furnace and all any or one of the above processes may be applied to
any boiler or to any other purpose. By the use of some any or all of the above
arrangements there is a greater area of boiler subjected to the heat of the furnace, the
draft of air causes the consumption of smoke and the pressure of steam of a given
volume is vastly increased.

We THOMAS WHITE, Thorpe Hesley, in the County of York, Engineer-JAMES
WILLIAM INNES, 3 George Street Sheffield in the County of York-Accountant do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
One of the sheets of Drawings herein referred to has been filed with the Provisional
Specification.
It consists of a cone-shaped internal division (a) to vertical boilers, and a wedge
shaped internal division to horizontal boilers surrounded by a smoke flue (b) and water-
jacket (c) in the case of vertical boilers, and with a longitudinal smoke flue and water-
jacket in the case of horizontal boilers, of a tube or tubes from the top of the boilers
along the length of the boilers outside the plates, and through over or under the
furnace and so on to the outlet with cock and pressure guages between top of boilers
and furnace and between furnace and outlet, the tubes to be of the same or of different
diameters in the same boiler and arranged according to the probable requirements of
the boiler, which tube or tubes may decrease and increase in diameter as they approach
and pass through, over, or under the furnace and all any, or one of the above processes
may be applied to any boiler or to any other purpose.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
wo claim is :-
By the use of some, any, or all of the above arrangements
1. There is a greater area of boiler subjected to the heat of the furnace.
2. The draft of air causes the consumption of smoke.
3. And the pressure of steam of a given voluine is vastly increased.
