Hi Engineers,
 
Raymond has spotted a mistake in the drawing on page 434 of ME issue 4401 concerning the firehole tube dimension.
 
The outside diameter of the firehole ring is correctly shown as 1.3/4" on the main view of the dummy backhead but on the side view to the right, the drawing shows the outside diameter to be 1.7/16"
 
The 1.7/16" dimension refers to the inside diameter of the firehole tube.

Peter,
 
Yes, the blower valve spindle is 15.7/8" long, remember it goes all the way to the steam dome.
