This has a steam and water-space, which forms the fire-box, and inside of which is fastened a coil, t^irough which thewater is forced—a circulating pump being especially provided for this purpose. The waterenters the coil at D, and is converted into steam while traversing the pipes FF, and Anallythe mingled steam and water passes back to the boiler at ^. The coil is supported by theslats B.

The water, in entering at D, is separated into two parts, and theninto four parts, by a patent device inserted in the dividers at the bottom, so that each sectiongets its equal amount of water in proportion to the number of feet of pipe in the section.
