Multitubular

The distinguishing features of the Rocket, the first high-speed locomotive of the standard modern type, were the multitubular boiler, which was not Stephenson's invention, but was first applied by him to locomotives; the blast pipe; and the direct connection of the steam cylinders to one axle, and one pair of wheels. ❋ Harry A. Lewis (N/A)

Figs. 86 and 87 are respectively end and side elevations of a multitubular boiler having over 600 square inches of heating surface -- most of it contributed by the tubes -- and intended for firing with solid fuel. ❋ Archibald Williams (N/A)

-- The boiler described on pp. 211-216, or a vertical multitubular boiler with about 800 sq. inches of heating surface will drive this engine satisfactorily. ❋ Archibald Williams (N/A)

Take a good Galloway or multitubular boiler; for 75 horse power effective the heating surface must be at least 74 square feet. ❋ Various (N/A)

Between the destructor and the chimney a multitubular boiler is placed, which makes steam enough for grinding into sand the clinkers which are the solid residue of the burnt refuse. ❋ Various (N/A)

On several of the plantations horizontal multitubular boilers externally fired were installed and at the time were considered the acme of perfection. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

These have developed into the cylindrical, multitubular boiler and the triple expansion engine, in which a greater percentage of the power of the steam is utilized and four or five times the work obtained from coal over that of the old system. ❋ Unknown (1912)

Modern boilers have smaller tubes and more of them, but "The Rocket" was the first to typify the modern multitubular boiler. ❋ Unknown (1906)

A working model of the steam-coach was perfected, embracing a multitubular boiler for quickly raising high-pressure steam, with a revolving surface condenser for reducing the steam to water again, by means of its exposure to the cold draught of the atmosphere through the interstices of extremely thin laminations of copper plates. ❋ Samuel Smiles (1858)

It was the simple but admirable contrivance of the steam-blast, and its combination with the multitubular boiler, that at once gave the locomotive a vigorous life, and secured the triumph of the railway system. ❋ Samuel Smiles (1858)
