When fresh fuel is supplied' to the fire /, the dampers must be reversed, and of course the draught att||p|| consequently the passage of the smoke, heated air, cvc. will be reversed are described as being oval, and also shewn in the Drawing as such, yet I do 5 jj not intend to confine myself to that shape, although I would recommend its use, as allowing of a greater width of fire bars in the same circumference or area; nor do I claim as my Invention the use of two fire-grates to one boiler ; but I do claim as my Invention, the application, employment, or use of two separate or distinct fire grates or furnaces (whether moveable or stationary) to 10 one boiler, which are to be fed or supplied with fuel alternately, and which are to be connected together by fines regulated by dampers in such a manner that the smoke and other products of combustion evolved from the furnace or fire¬ place which was last fed or supplied with fuel, shall be caused to pass under the other furnace or fire-place, and upwards through the fire of the same, for '1$ the purposes of consuming the smoke and economizing the fuel. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty- third day of December, One thousand eight hundred and forty-six. | | AMBROSE (l.s.) LORD. 'J9 .
