The construction of hisboiler is shown in the following side and front views of consists of two cylindrical vessels a and b, placed infront of the fire, and above them is the vessel c called theseparator; this latter vessel alone contains steam, theothers being full of water. These three vessels communi-cate by means of the passages dddd, and from the backof the lower vessel a proceed twelve tubes which serve asa grate for the fire; one of these is seen at e, fig. them, at f, is the ash-pit. After traversing theback of the fire-box, they arrive at the vessel b, as seen inthe side-view. The flame and smoke play round and be-tween these tubes, and vaporize very rapidly the water inthem. The steam, as it is formed, passes up into theseparator c, and its place is supplied by cold water de-scending through the passages dd. Thus a very quickcirculation is regularly kept up. The chimney is at g,and the opening of the main steam-pipe at LOCOMOTIVE CARRIAGES. 30] In Hancocks toilers the water is contained betweena number of upright plates of iron, as in the followinglateral view. The water is thus distributed into thin Fig. 11
