In our November, 1902, issue, page 340, Mr. Lentz de-scribed the Schmidt superheater as developed In new design for the Canadian Pacific is entirely different in construction and is known as the smoke-tube superheateras distinguished from the smokebox form. The new con-struction seems much more likely to meet the idea of Ameri-can railroad men than the smokebox type. Instead of placing the superheater tubes in the smokeboxthey are taken from a header casting at the front end of thedry pipe and looped back through twenty-two 5-in. tubestoward the firebox. The superheater tubes, which are 1^ins. in diameter outside and 15-16 in. inside, reach within32 ins. of the firebox ends of the large tubes but are not.
