The March 6th issue of the Scientific
American has the following item concerning -
cerning a recently patented invention of
a former Burlington engineer : Tubular
Boiler. Sweney Munson , Sayre , Penn.
This boiler has an outer and an inner
shell , with manifold at each end of the
latter and water flue connections between
them , there being forward of the inner
shell a crown sheet having a water leg ,
while circulating tubes having connection
with arched braces extend through the
crown sheet. It is designed that the
boiler will require a less number of stay 1
bolts than are at present necessary , to 1
reduce the liability to leaky flues to a 1
minimum , and afford greatly increased
heating surface , the construction also being - 1
ing such that every flue can be easily inspected - ]
spected and cleaned. ]
