. American engineer and railroad journal . 1. conical. Exptricncc with this type of firebox and boiler hasshown the desirability of taking the steam from a point as nearthe firebox as possible, and since it was desired to have anexternal steam pipe between the throttle and superheater twodomes were cmplnyed. The forward one, however, is simply athrottle chamber and is separated from the boiler by a horizontalplate. The steam enters the rear dome, passes throu!;h a pieceof netting which assists in catching the suspended water, and isthen conveyed forward through two 5-in. pipes to the forwarddome, where it cnteR the throttle valve. This valve is designedto take steam from the top only. The dry pipe then passes outthrough the front of the dnnic, and has a flange wliich is rivetedto the dome on the inside, tlie joint being made tight by a coppergasket. This pipe is fitted with a slip joint and leads forwardalong the top center line of the boiler, entering the superheaterat a point just ahead of the separable joint in the boiler
