    2 A.D. 1857.—N° 2276. Provisional Specification. Muckart's Impvovements in Fffectincj the Combustion of Fuel, <§fc. consumed by the incandescent fuel therein, the current finally passing off* by the open door in the up-take of that furnace. When the second furnace is charged, the positions of the two flue doors are changed, and the gaseous matters from this furnace are consumed by the incandescent fuel in the 5 furnace, and so on. In another arrangement the dampers or doors for alternating the flue currents, are disposed at the furnace bridges, still carrying out the principle of causing one clear furnace to consume the gaseous matter from the other. In a third plan the gaseous matter from the newly fed furnace is carried all round the boiler, bringing it out by a port in the dumb plate of the other 10 furnace, and thence over the incandescent fuel in that furnace, the dampers or flue doors being in this case in the dumb plates.
