George Fossick, engine-builder, Thomas Hackworth, engine- builder, and Thomas Elliott, superintendent of locomotives, all of Stockton-upon-Tees, for "certain Improvements in locomotive and other ;âGranted March 3; Enrolled Sept. 3, 1847. [Reported in the Patent Journal.'\ The improvements here specified relatej first, to the form or shape of the fire-box of locomotive and other tubular boilers ; secondly, to the arrangement of the tubes ; thirdly, dividing, in boilers of large diameter, the fire-box into two portions, by means of a vertical divi- sion. The patentees in the specification of their first improvement state : we make the fire-box of a semi-cylindrical shape, coi responding in form to the cylindrical shell of the boiler, the top or roof of the tire- box being slightly curved ; this roof is to be supported and sustained by the addition of wrought-iron stays, |ilaced across the upper side of the roof and rivetted thereto; as with fire-boxes of the usual co
