It is the result of many years experience in boileipractice. 13. It is the form adopted or preferred by all experienced engineers. It follows, too, that the horizontal inhular boiler, substan-tially as shown in fig. 30, is the standard steam boiler; engi-neers and steam power owners cling with great tenacity to thisapproved form, which is an outgrowth of one hundred yearsexperience in steam production.
