Provision is alsomade for drainage and connections for thermometer cups. In cases the headers arc made with the outlet on thesuperheated header in an op])Ositc location to the inlet on thesaturated header, assuring an even distribution of the steam(low tlirough all units. Where conditions are such as to re-quire it. the saturated header is provided with several Elesco Superheater Adapted to a Horizontal Return Tubular Type Boiler distributor lor the saturated steam coming from the boiler The superheater units are made of heavy, cold drawn and the other a superheated header for the collection of the seamless steel tubing of the proper diameter to give correctsteam after it has been su|)erheated, and the necessary con- steam areas.
