Therewas also a combustion chamber, on eachside of which were arranged air holes,made by inserting a short piece of 2-inchtube from the shell of the boiler. Theseair holes were arranged in a horizontalline about 3 ins. apart, having a framearound them with a damper in the formof a slide with holes to correspond withthe air tube opening?. This arrangementwas intended to let in the air necessaryto complete combustion, the damper beingthe keystone of the improved engine proved to be the best steam-er on the road, and it was supposed thata new era in coal burning had
