The o penil'ig in 1 the 'ground-` joint end of the` half return-bend is alittle oblong in the direction of the pipe to which it is attached, to admit a full Iiow of steam in case of .any variation in length ot' pipe, The boltholes are also made oblong or elongated, and parallel with the hole in the return-bend. The pipe E is made of cast-iron, in sections, so that the heater may be enlarged without disturbing the part already built. 'Ihis pipe is, on its under side, provided with short necks a at suitable intervals, and each'neck iitted with a flanged ground joint, to correspond with the anged joint of the hal-f returnbend, which forms the cpnnection with the .first ron7 of pipes G. The pipe E Lhas also a anged ground `)oint at "each end, to` which another section ofthe heater nm'yghe added. The'pipe E at the bottom is precisely.' similar, except that the necks areon the upper instead of the under side.
