The curving tubes aredivided into groups and the passages in the headers are soarranged that the steam after leaving the T head on eitherside passes down through the group forming the outer fourrows of the rear section of superheater tubes, then crossesover in the lower header and passes up through the innerfour rows of the same section, thence down through the innergroup of the next section and up through the outer group, and ments so far made with this type of superheater show thatwhile it is not possible to obtain a very high degree of super-heat, enough is obtained to very decidedly increase theeconomy of the boiler. The front end is heavily lagged at allpoints to prevent, as far as possible, all loss of heat
