This is necessary when the throttle is closedas there being no steam in the pipes they would burn out,and the superheater damper cylinder, Figure 4, has beenapplied and connected to a damper in such a way thatsteam being admitted to it while the throttle is open, opensthe damper, permitting the passage of gases through the5-inch flues, but when the throttle is closed the counterweight at C (Fig. 1.) closes the damper and shuts off thedraft, which is then necessary through only the lowerflues.

Vaughan-Horsey Superheater. the extensions on this header and is distributed throughthe two and four way fittings shown in Figure 2, to the bentpipes which connect to the headers by union nuts asshown, Figure 3, and extend backwards into the boilerflues which are 5 inches in diameter to a point about 20inches from the back flue sheet. These tubes have returnbends at the end near the firebox flue sheet and the steam,returning, enters the superheated steam header. The super-heating is thus done by the passage of the steam againstand with the flow of gases from the firebox. On the design shown in Figure 1 there are ninty-sixpipes or forty-eight superheating elements, the combinedcapacity of which is sufficient to superheat all of the steamadmitted through the throttle and dry pipe. The steamafter passing through the superheater pipes and enteringthe superheated header is carried through the two steampipes at B to the cylinders. The arrangement of the plat
