Synopsis

Excerpt from Small Engines and Boilers

The boilers shown will do a great deal of work for their superficial dimensions, if properly man aged. They have ample grates and heating surfaces, and will maintain a steady evaporation continuously with good fuel and management. The work also contains hints upon lathe-work.
