Description:
Steam boiler from the Woodrat Mine. Sides are riveted with conical shaped rivets. The Fire Box (60 inches in length) has a square raising door (which is missing) and is connected to the Heat Exchanges (70 inches in length). The Heat Exchange is missing its cover, and the series of horizontal pipes reaching from the Fire Box to the Cleanout Cap is now visible. The end has a cap with a raising lid for cleaning and a Oval chimney out the top. There is also a conical chimney (diameter 24" by 30" long) which raises above the Heat Exchange area and a Steam Outflow line comes out from the chimney.
