An illustration is given of this infigures 14 and 15. It consists of a cylinder A, formed of iron plate with hemis-pherical ends set horizontally in brick work J. Thelower part of this cylinder contains the water, the upper partthe steam. The furnace D is outside the cylinder, beingbeneath one end ; it consists simply of grate bars e e set in thebrick work at a convenient distance below the bottom of theboiler. The sides and front of the furnace are walls of brick work,which, being continued upwards support the end of thecylinder. The fuel is thrown on the bars through the doorwhich is set in the front brick work. The air enters between. Fig. 14. the grate bars from below. Theportion below the bars is calledthe ash pit. The flame and hotgasses, when formed, first strikeon the bottom of the boiler, andare then carried forward by thedraft, to the so-calljd bridge wall0, which is a projecting piece ofbrick work which contracts thearea of the flue n and forces all
