Mr. L. H. Fry. in cominenting;- on these tests, says: Itappears from these tests, that the efficiency of the absorption ofheat is practically independent of the rate of combustion Showing general details of sectional firebox. In the foregoing. I have endeavored to point out some ofthe more important factors which must be considered in theeconomical proportioning of a locomotive boiler. There havenaturally been a great many developments in the perfection ofdetails and in the application of special devices in connectionwith boiler designing many of which are important factors inthe service given. 53
