F The superheater requires 13 per cent, of this. On considering that an up to date lo-comotive boiler generates 40 per cent,of its heat in fire-box and 60 per cent,in tubes; therefore, it is clear that super-heater will take up: 13 per cent, of 60or 22 per cent, of flue heating surface.

CYLINDER CONDENSATION. The saving that is effected by prevent-ing cylinder condensation by use of su-perheated steam varies from 12 to 35per cent., according to point of cut-off;the shorter the cut-off the greater thesaving. INCREASE OF SIZE OF CYLINDER. The cylinders should be increased from10 to 15 per cent, in size, depending ondegree of superheat. General Remarks on Design and Opera-tion: 1—The temperature should increase with demand of e
