The proper spreading of fuel is ac-complished by ribs or flanges gradually in-creasing in height from their lower endsto about the center of their length, theirparticular formation having the effect ofthrowing or spreading the coal evenlyover the fire-bed, the rotating screen con-veyor, driven by simple mechanism, carriesthe fuel upwardly until it is fed into theupwardly flaring wall of the rotatingspreader, which in turn carries it up-wardly, and with a tendency to spread it,the fuel being carried in a circular pathbv the hollow ribs or flanges, the result. well as the circulation of the water forcooling, is also simple, consisting of asingle shafting to which bevelled pinionsare mitered to corresponding pinions con-veying the movement to the various parts, SECTION OF ROTATING STOKER. being that the material is evenly spreada distance in accordance with the rate ofspeed at which the spreader is rotated. It will thus be seen that the device issimple in construction. The necessarymechanism to supply the fuel to the con-veyor, and the motion to the spreader, as
