The majority of thesesheets are very irregular in shape, and follow almostno law. The gusset sheet, perhaps, comes nearest to. The Lerry Collard Co. Top portion of gusset sheet. following a certain law, and even this sheet, althoughspoken of as being a section of a cone, is really a peculiarshaped cone, which instead of being circular at sections IS Gusset sheet development. perpendicular to the axis, is circular at sections perpen-dicular to the center line of the boiler. A gusset sheet which has the shape of a perfect coneis very easily developed. The bending line of the sheetwhen developed, can be struck by a radius from thecenter of the cone. The cases where this is used are veryrare. The most common style of gusset sheet is shown inFig. i. The lower element being parallel to the center ofthe boiler, while the circular ends are at right angles to Development of the Gusset Sheet Shown in Fig. I. Fig. 2 shows the top portion of a gusset sheet. Aflat portion for about an inch more than is required forthe seam, is allowed at each end. The bending line of thesheet is taken equal to L in this figure. Thi
