large diameter furnace leading to the combustion chamber, rather than
the (lower) tube bank of many small-diameter tubes. This boiler could
not be built, not could it be maintained (without some access to that
leftmost combustion chamber.
Also the boiler is drawn with domed ends. Although such a boiler could
be built today, it would be impractical with the flanging presses
available in period. Instead boilers were built with flat ends and
stayed to support them.
