The steam dome is formed of a singlepiece of flanged steel 33 ins. in contains a Chambers throttle, which hasan external connection with the throttlelever. The superheater is of the fire-tube type, designated as type A by theLocomotive Superheater Conijiany. It iscomposed of 42 units, and provides asuperheater surface of 1260 sq. ft. Thesmokebox is of the self-cleaning type,and is equipped with a shut-oflf damper toprotect the superheater pipes from over-heating when the throttle is closed. Thevalve gear is of the Southern type whichis standard on the Southern railway sys-tem. The high and low pressure valvemotions are controlled by a power reversegear of the Ragonnet type,
