These last two cuts show the highest type of furnace designnow in use in locomotive service; and while there are still somedefects to be worked out and overcome, furnaces of this typeare giving results in service that corroborate statements madeheretofore. The furnace shown in Figure 13 has 90 square feet of gratearea, 400 square feet of firebox heating surface and an eflfectivevolume of more than 500 cubic feet,—the average length offiameway being 15 feet, and the over-all length of firebox fromflue sheet to door sheet. 18 feet 3lj inches. 107.
