Figs. 5, 6 and 7 show what may be considered one of thecuriosities of the Patent Office. They represent the construc-tion of a boiler, which is covered by patent No. 42y,o03, issuedto Ala Berthy, of BudaPesth, Hungary, and can perhaps bestbe described in the inventors own words, as follows : This invention relates to a construction of locomotive-boiler, more particularly for use with express-trains, by means. BERTHYS LOCOMOTIVE BOILER. of which greater speed can be obtained than was heretofore pos-sible without reducing the stability. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of a locomo-tive-boiler embodying my improvements. Fig. 6 is a cross-sec-tion of the same on line i r of fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectiontaken on the right-hand side on the line z z and on the left handside on the line v w of fig. 5. The boiler consists of two cylindrical shells D D\ of whichthe one is situated above and the other below the driving-axles,and these shells are connected by a branch, E, situated behindthe rear driving-axle. The fire-box /• is common to both boiler-shells, and the smoke-boxes G G of both are connected by avertical branch pipe, //, in front of the front driving-axle. Thisconnecting branch is fixed by screw-bolts, and can be removed,so as to enable the boiler to be removed from the framing whenrequired, and also to facilitate the removal of the axles.
