Smoke and feed-pipe, D, is constructed with two slides, e, e, which closes the pipe per- fectly tight when thrust into it—their uses will hereafter be explained ; /is a cap-valve in the steam chamber, placed over a short pipe or nozzle on the upper head of the furnace, and fitted to its seat perfectly tight, with a rod ex- tending through the upper head of the outer case; (/ is the ash-pit below the grate; h, an opening into the ash pit, with a slide to close it tight, when necessary. In order to put the engine in operation, and successfully use all the advantages of this gene- rator over any other, it will bo necessary to set open the feed and smoke-pipe D, and the pipe h ; introduce fuel down the feed-pipe, in suffi- cient quantity, and ignite it. Previously fill the space between the outer and inner case with water up to the dotted line, half way up the cap-valve /; which will completely immerse the furnace ; and when steam is generated of sufficient elas- ticity to start the engine, say seventy-five pounds per square inch, close the pipes D and A, with their respective slides ; then start the engine in the usual nay, by opening a communication with steam-pipe ;; then the blowing cylinders will force their charges of air through the pipe C into furnace B, partly taking its course through the mass of fuel on the grates, a suiKcient quantity being introduced above the fuel to burn the smoke, which can be regulated by slides in the branch pipes, terminating the air-pipe C.
