All the connections tothe headers and steam pipes are made by castiron ball joints. The headers are secured toa box casting bolted to the side of the smokebox, thus relieving the steam pipes and theirconnections from any strain due to the weightof the header. The large boiler tubes containfour seamless steel superheating pipes, i/z diameter, arranged in pairs, the twopipes in each pair being connected at the backend by cast steel return bends. The super-heating pipes on emerging from the boilertubes are carried by an
