The creosoting cylinder or retort is 7 ft. 6 in. insidediameter and 51 ft. 2% in. long. It has a shell of 3 steel made in seven courses or rings of one plateeach. It is mounted on iron saddles resting on rein-forced concrete foundations. The door, details of whichare shown in Fig. 7, is located at the forward end. Thishas a steel frame of angle section bored accurately to. FIG. 6—LONGITUDINAL SECTION OF CYLINDER HOUSE fit the shell. The outer face of the frame is turned andgrooved for a gasket. Fitting the frame and hinged toit is a heavy cast-steel door frame, to which is double-riveted a dished head of flanged steel, designed for aworking pressure of 175 lb. and a test pressure of 265lb. per square inch. The door is carried on two hingessupported by ball-thrust collar bearings. It is fastenedby forty ,2-!4-in. T-head hinged bolts, each equippedwith at steel washer and hexagonal nut. The door gas-kets are of No. 600 Ankorite H. P. asbestos. Thecylinder track consists of 4-in. x 4-in. x %-in. anglessupported by six pressed-steel brackets per course. shows a charge ready for insertion into the retort, thetimber being mounted on special bolster trucks equippedwith locking hoops. These hold about 10,000 ft. B. charge, and tie cars hold about 420 ties percharge. The trucks are pushed into the retort bya service car
