PART VII. THE LOCOMOTIVE BOILER. QUESTION 82. _How does the quantity of steam generated in locomotive boilers in a given time compare with that generated in the boilers of stationary and marine engines?_ _Answer_. Locomotive engine boilers must produce much more steam in a given time, in proportion to their size, than is required of the boilers of any other class of engines, (excepting perhaps those of steam fire-engines,) because the space which locomotive boilers can occupy and also their weight is limited.
