and Hot Water Supply.
We HORATIO CADE SIMPSON of 4, Madeley Street, Derby and EDWARD WHITE
ASTLE of 41, Litchurch Street, Derby Engineers do hereby declare the nature of their
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF BOILERS FOR HEATING
PURPOSES to be as follows:-
It is an independent brickless Saddle Boiler with terminal ends and return flue or
flues, it is in Sections or Duplicate, and when bolted together it can be worked as
one or two independent boilers. It is conical in form rising from front to back-as
shewn in drawing No. 1. thus giving facility to the flow of water.
The Boiler in duplicate bolted together is shewn in drawing No. 2.
It can be made of Wrought Iron, Steel, Cast Iron, or any other suitable metal.
The Flue or Flues which pass from back to front or from front to back through the
water, ensure the utilisation of all available heat as shewn in drawing No. 3.
They are easily cleaned from the front, and all the soot is pushed back into the fire
and consumed.
The sections bolted together are also shewn in drawing No. 3.

and Hot Water Supply.
We HORATIO CADE SIMPSON of 4 Madeley Street Derby and EDWARD WHITE
ASTLE of 41 Litchurch Street Derby, Engineers, 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 :-
It is an Independent Brickless Saddle Boiler, with terminal end and return flue or
flues; it is in Sections or Duplicate and when bolted together it can be worked as one
or two independent boilers. It is conical in form rising from front to back as shewn
in Drawing No. 1 left with the provisional specification thus giving facility to the
flow of water. The Boiler in duplicate bolted together is shewn in drawing No. 2 left
with the provisional specification.
It can be made of wrought Iron, Steel, Cast Iron, or any other suitable metal.
The Flue or Flues which pass from back to front or from front to back through the
water ensure the utilisation of all availablo heat, as shewn in drawing No. 3 left with
the provisional specification.
They are easily cleaned from the front and all the soot is pushed back into the fire
and consumed.
The sections bolted together are also shewn in drawing No. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is
1. It is a Boiler in duplicate, or a Boiler in two parts without a water joint.
2. It is an Independent Saddle Boiler with Conical top rising from front to back
with flue or flues which pass from back to front, or from front to back through the
water.
3. It can be made as one Boiler or in Sections, and the Sections when bolted
together form one Boiler; or can be worked as separate Boilers.
4. Each half of the Boiler contains one half of the flue or flues and one half of the
fire-box.
5. It is self contained and requires no brick work.
