A form of saddle boiler with waterway end or back is sometimes adopted, an opening being left in the upper part of the back to allow the flames, etc., to pass into the flues. This form is illustrated in Kg. 121. Fig. 121. Another and really excellent type of saddle boiler is provided with a waterway end, with two oval openings in the sides, at the far end, and about half-way up the boiler, leading into the flues. These are usually made in oast-iron only. I had one under my care at one time that did really splendid work, heating several hundred feet of 4:in. pipingâa heavy load in proportion to its sizeâ quite easily and well, with a small consump- tion of fuel and very little care. This boiler, which is known as Jones' patent, is illus- trated in Fig. 122. The next type of â ''^ Fig. 122. saddle boiler to be considered is the "terminal-end and flued," which is also known as the Chatsworth boiler. This is similar in form to an ordinary saddle, though usually made somewhat flatter at the top and sides, but the crown is considerably deeper.
