. American stationary engineering; a practical work which begins at the boiler room and takes in the whole power plant. These cuts show a side view and a section of a single bai,and a plan of three bars in position. Each bar is in fact asmall girder, the top surface of which is wider than thebottom. On each bar are cast lugs, the width of which de-termints the size of the opening for the passage of openmg varies in width according to the character ofthe fuel; for anthracite f inch is a maximum, while the softcoals t to f inch is often used ; for pea and nut coal stillsmaller openings
