It i- a seri-ous thing, this flue question, andwhether we should use iron tubes thatare not iron or steel tubes that are steel1- a question in my mind. It is curious to read of this kind ofcomplaint which people hear repeated. 1 OW PRESSURE CURTIS TURBINE MADE BY THE GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. receiver generator between the units andthe turbine, as the reducing valve makesup for any deficiency in the steam be due. as stated before, tothe stoppage of one of the engines orpumps. With this arrangement a sufficientsupply of steam (direct from the boilers ifnecessary), is always assured, thus makingthe installation fully as reliable as the highpressure engine or turbine, and much moreeconomical than either of these when run-ning non-condensing. The longest con- at every engine house where flue trou-bles prevail, and they are nearly uni-versal. There is a standard specifica-tion for locomotive boiler tubes whichthe American Railway Master Mechan-ics Association adopted many yearsago. If that specification were adheredto, tubes made under it would last aswell as they did twenty-five years do those havi
