Six Boilers with Howden Hot Draft appliances now in Side-Weeel Steamer City of Buffalo. Dimensions of each boiler--12 ft. 6 in. diameter by 12 ft. length. HOWDEN "USE AIR AND SAVE FUEL! bo in operating expenses on Lake Ships must come from reduced coal bills. No great saving can be made in labor cost, and provisions are already low. But fuel bills can be lowered and cheap coal used to advantage by adopting Modern Methods of making steam at low cost. 7 No manufacturer of pig iron would to-day think of running his furnace without a hot blast. Competition would not permit it. This same competition demands advanced practice in the operation of ships. The same principle is applied in the HOT DRAFT Now in use on Lake Steamers aggregating over 40,000 Horse Power. CAN BE APPLIED TO OLD SHIPS AS WELL AS NEW ONES. No complicated machinery. Cool engine rooms and cool fire holds. Estimates readily furnished for application of this draft to any steamer Dry Dock ENCINE Works, DETROIT, MICH. «
