By providing bodies of different sizes the same bladescan be used for both the small tubes or for the larger super-heater flues. Another tool designed by Mr. Kerr is a new type of sec-tional expander. The straight is shown at the right in the illustration and the Prosser expander at the will be noted that both styles have projections at the outeredges of the sections. These bear against the flue sheetwhen the expander is in use so that the shoulder of theexpander will not be forced against the projecting end of thetube when the pin is driven in. This prevents the weaken-ing of the flue at this point and forcing the bead away fromthe sheet when the expander is used repeatedly. Both ofthese devices are handled by the Collis Company, Clinton,Iowa.
