This, of course,is not an essential fea-ture of the breeching,but it will be seen thatmanholes can readily beput below the tubes onfronts of this kind, insuch a manner as to bevery convenient of access. In addition to these more general styles of boiler fronts,there are fronts designed particularly for patent boilers, water-front boilers, etc., which are made, very often, in ornamentaland attractive designs. In Fig. 71 is shown a beautiful andappropriate design in use in connection with water tubularboilers.
