The letter g indicates a wall or partition on the front endof the boiler, which is intended to prevent a direct escape ofthe combustion gases issuing from the upper heating pipesor boiler-tubes r into the stack, and to force the same at firstdownward and then, mixed with the gases from the lowerheating pipes, to pass upward into the stack.
