| contd :- -6- capacity of the system by decreasing the boiler size, but keeping the heating area the same. With a small water feed to the boiler there should be little or no heat added to the cooling system. Provision must be made to prevent any stoppage in the feed pipe - fine gauze as suggested in KL/M5.7.26. We are at present preparing the alternative scheme suggested in KL/M5.7.26 in which the system is sealed to about 100 lbs/sq.in. With regard to the exhaust heated system it appears difficult to obtain sufficiently brisk circulation with the present pipes without employing a choke valve in the exhaust pipe when light running at low speeds and the exhaust volume is not very great.
