This can be demon-strated by getting into the fire-box afterthe fire has been drawn and the locomo-tive placed in the roundhouse with aperfectly dry set of flues, then start eitherthe right or left injector and watch theresults caused by the change in tempera-ture of the water around the flues. Theengineer and fireman should carefullyexamine the firebox sheets and flues assoon as they take charge of the locomo-tive, reporting any leaks or defects tothe roundhouse foreman. If the flues are all open, in good con-dition, and there is no mud on the flue-sheet, there is absolutely no reason fora failure due to flues leaking, yet thereare cases where tonnage is reduced ortrains set out, and on making an in-spection of the flues, they are foundto be in good condition, but loose inthe sheet, which is prima facie evi-dence of the improper use of the in-jector.
