It is known thatthe front 2 ft. of a 20 ft. tube is comparatively inefficient whileon the contrary, a gain in firebox heating surface is of verydecided value and especially when the improved combustiongiven by the Gaines arrangement of brick arch and air inlets driving axle. In order to give the necessary clearance the mudring is inclined sharply upward on the sides, at the point ofconnection of the steel casting supporting the brick wall, andreaches practically the level of the bottom of the barrel. Thelowest point is 8 in. below the level of the front corners. Flexiblestaybolts are used throughout the combustion chamber section 364 RAILWAY AGE GAZETTE, MECHANICAL EDITION.
