During the past few years many tests have been madewith devices known as the superheaters, which are at-tachments to the locomotive designed to reduce cylindercondensation by superheating the steam. It is claimedthat this superheating results in economy of water con-sumption and of fuel. The following description applies to what is known asthe Schenectady superheater for locomotives. It is claimed that this type of superheater overcomesthe objectionable features of previous types, amongwhich have been the use of bent tubes and the necessityof disconnecting the whole superheater in order togain access to leaky boiler
