    Kent's Improved Smoke Consuming Apparatus. The combustion chamber G, at Figures 3 and 4, terminates in a chimney shaft not shewn by the Drawing. It will appear obvious that in applying these improvements to Cornish boilers, for example, constructed with two tubes, each tube may 5 be similarly fitted with air pipes to that lastly described with reference to Figures 3 and 4. I would remark that the pipes I and L may be made of cast or wrought-iron, or fire-clay, as may be found most desirable. * Having now fully described and set forth the nature and object of 10 my said Invention for “An Improved Arrangement of Smoke Con¬ suming Apparatus,” together with the means by which it may be effected, I would remark in conclusion that I hereby declare my Invention to consist in, and I claim, the manner above described and represented of arranging and operating with pipes for introducing 15 superheated air into the combustion chambers of marine and land boilers for effecting consumption of smoke, as above stated.* In witness whereof, I, the said George Kent, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Ninth day of July, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two. 20 GEOKGE KENT, (l.s.)
