The superheater is of the smokebox type and is in the intermediate smokebox chamber where the temperature ofthe gases is high. The superheater teehead is bolted to a cast steel box saddlecasting which in turn is bolted to the topof the boiler, and covers the opening cutthrough the sheet by which the superheat-er tubes extend down into the smokebox chamber. The tee-head is dividedtransversely into a front and a rear com-partment by means of a vertical parti-tion. There are sixteen superheater tubesbent into the shape of a double loop, one.

In the design of the boiler the prob-lem of providing the required amount ofheating surface within the necessarilylimited space available has been very sat-isfactorily solved. The boiler is of thehorizontal return tube type. The fire boxand smoke box are at the front end and end of each loop being connected withthe front or saturated steam compart-ment, and the oth
