Boilers

Examples

• The station at Berlin comprised five boilers, and six vertical steam-engines driving by belts twelve Edison dynamos, each of about fifty-five horse-power capacity. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Such boilers are adapted for portable stationary engines, locomotives, fire and marine engines, and the fire is built within the boiler frame. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• Stage-coaches were upsetting in all directions, horses were bolting, boats were overturning, and boilers were bursting. Charles Dickens. The Pickwick Papers.

• The wire in each disc is 1,140 feet long; and the total length of wire in the regenerator is 41? miles, or equal to the surface of four steam boilers, each 40 feet long and 4 feet diameter. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• Heat the water in two or more boilers, as a large quantity will be required, and pour it in through the tube on top of the incubator boiling hot, using a funnel in the tube for the purpose. William K. David. Secrets of Wise Men, Chemists and Great Physicians.
• This exceedingly useful apparatus has been improved and universally used wherever steam boilers are found. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• The necessary steam boilers were accommodated in the basement, while the second floor was occupied by six generators of 125 horse-power each, nicknamed Jumbos. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• The boilers have also been elongated, to enlarge the evaporating surface and economize fuel. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• Boilers, engines, dynamos, motors, distribution mains, meters, house-wiring, safety-devices, lamps, and lamp-fixtures--all were vital parts of the whole system. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• In the same manner, steam engine boilers might be constructed with a small portion comparatively weaker, so that if it gave way there would not be much damage done. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• The firm of Babcock & Wilcox gave aid on the boilers, Armington & Sims undertook the engines, but everything else was abnormal. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Boilers are placed in separate water-tight compartments, so that damage to one does not disable the others. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The boilers were consequently made of less dimensions, but more extensive in their heating surface. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• After a while we got the engines and boilers and wires all done, and the lights in position, before the house was quite finished, and thought we would have an exhibit of the light. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Prior to the Giffard Injector, steam boilers were supplied with water usually by steam pumps, which forced the water into the boiler against the pressure of the steam. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• Luckily, the boilers were unharmed. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• But numerous explosions of boilers on the North American rivers have operated as a caution against the introduction of high-pressure engines in steam-boats in this country. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• The driving engine and shafting are compactly placed at one end or side of the room, with boilers and kettles conveniently adjacent. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• One of its most useful functions is to automatically supply steam boilers with water, and regulate the supply. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• Boilers fired with waste got from furnace. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• In steam-ships, where salt water is used for generating the steam, the incrustation on the sides of the boilers becomes a serious annoyance. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• Soon after a shell burst in the cotton packed about the boilers, set the vessel on fire and burned her to the water's edge. Ulysses S. Grant. Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant.
• Heated boilers change water into the steam which drives our engines on land and sea. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• He made separate boilers, which he worked alternately, and conveyed the steam from them to a vessel in which its pressure operated to force the water up. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• Sectional steam boilers made in detachable portions fastened together by packed or screw joints also represent an important development. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The great essential was to protect the boilers from the enemy's shot, and to conceal the fires under the boilers from view. Ulysses S. Grant. Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant.
• I'm not afraid to sit on the escape-valve, as long as the boilers are strong, and the machinery works well. Harriet Beecher Stowe. Uncle Tom's Cabin.
• Many critics expected the boilers of the locomotives to explode at any and all times. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• The pressure within the boilers of engines is frequently several hundred pounds to the square inch, and such a pressure needs a strong boiler. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
