The frames, except the front rails, are of cast steel. In cross-section the firebox closely resembles that of the NewYork Central Atlantic type engines (American Engineer. Feb-ruary, 1901. page 37). With a slope downward of the fronthalf of the mud ring a depth of IS ins. below the barrel of theboiler is secured. Thick barrel and throat sheets are necessary,for the pressure on these boilers is 225 lbs. per square figures are given in the table of dimensions.
