The length of the Ijoiler from the back end to thecenter of the cylinders is 25 ft. 5V^ in. The diameter of thefirst course of the boiler is 64 inches. The tubes, 332 in num-ber, are 2 inches in diameter, 12 ft. 6 in. long and are set witha slope of 5 7/16 inches in their length. There are two fire doors, which are of pressed steel, thepresent standard of the road. The grate bearers are wide andthe location of the grates is seen in Fig. 2. The ash pan is25 inches wide and extends between the driving axles, as shownin Fig. 3. A perforated damper closes the lower part of thefurnace front, these holes being about 24 in number and 1(^inches in diameter. The furnace has a bridge wall, not shownin the engravings, which divides the space and permits of usingthe front end of the furnace as a combustion chamber.
