In the case of the of the Pacific locomotives, thecrown and side sheets of the fire-boxwere made of one piece so that nowelding or riveting was necessary. Thecombustion chamber was also of onepiece, and was butt welded along thebottom center line and also to the three rows of hollow stay-bolts. These,when considered as three sloping rows,were staggered as tliey. of course, oc-cupied regular stay-liolt positions. Inthe combustion ctiamber, flexible stay-bolts were used for the three front rowsand the two top ones, but none wereused at the bottom. The combustionchamber had a length of 39 inches.
