Object Details
Date 1887-1903 Country of Origin United States of America Type EQUIPMENT-Test Manufacturer Smithsonian Institution
 Physical Description This object is basically squared or cube-shaped; designed with two levels of coiled copper tubes. Each level contains a double row of tubing; thus the object in question has four coiled copper tubes. The copper tubes themselves are supported by brackets. There seems to be no reference to this object in Langley's memoirs. Due its unusual design, when compared to the published pictures of other boilers, this particular boiler may be more experimental in nature.
