Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Treatise on the Working and Management of Steam Boilers and Engines
Return flue and Water tube. A short de scription of each kind will be given, to enable the reader to form an idea of the respective merits of each class and their adaptability for particular kinds of work and under special Circumstances. It will also enable the reader to understand more clearly the rules laid down for working, &c. The Cylin drical, Cornish, and Lancashire kinds require setting in brickwork the Multitubular do not require any setting. There are many cases where a brickwork setting could not be used, partly on account of the limited space at command, and also in places where the extra dead weight could not be permitted multitubular boilers on the locomotive plan are the most suitable in such a case; the boiler rests upon iron cradles, the exterior being covered with felt or non-conducting composition.
