As applied to the new Mikado typelocomotives, the firebox is 134 ins. longby 84 ins. wide, and is not unlike theWooten type in shape. The actual lengthof the grate, however, is only 89 ins. Fir-ing is accomplished through two circulardoors, placed 36 ins. apart transversely;and a power grate shaker is applied. Thefront part of the furnace is used as acombustion chamber and is separated fromthe rear part by a brick wall. Provisionis made for discharging pre-heated a backward direction at the top of thiswall. This aids in the combustion of thegases, and because of the manner in whichthe air is discharged from the wall, keepsthe rear of the firebox filled with flame,thus increasing the effectiveness of thecrown and back sheets as heating surface.
