The dome ismade of a single piece of pressed steel,and measures 30 ins. in diameter and 22ins. in height. A notable feature is themud ring, which is 7 ins. wide all around;so that there is ample room for circula-tion in the water legs. The grate bars extend entirely across thefurnace, and are arranged to rock in twosections. The shaking rigging, ash-panslides and fire door are operated by pneu-matic power. The superheater is of the Schmidttype, and is installed in 30 tubes, each5$i ins. in diameter. The live steampipes are placed entirely within the smokehox, and the steam is conveyed to thesteam chests through passages which arecored in the cylinder castings. Thesteam distribution is controlled by I2-in.piston valves. These valves are of cast which is bolted to the rear frames. Thisbracket supports an expansion plate,which in turn supports the side
