purpose. They are not so dangerous in action, and will not suffer so seriously from small projectiles. The effect on the ship's company will not be so disastrous in the event of an explosion, because they contain only a very small amount of water for steam generation. They are very much lighter and produce more horse-power per ton of weight, and thus enable advantages to be secured either in speed of vessel or in the amount of armour, armament, or coal supply. They can be "forced" or made to produce a greater quantity of steam for longer periods, and can therefore continue steaming at higher powers, and in this connection also they are assisted by a larger fire-grate area, which enables them to maintain steam for their maximum powers with greater facility."
168: 305: 443: 164:" or, when used in ships, as "marine boilers". In these, water was contained in a single drum through which tubes carried exhaust gases from a furnace: a locomotive boiler had to be constructed from heavier gauge materials, since the greater size of the single drum required a thicker shell, and, while the tubes in a water tube boiler were subject only to tension from the steam and pressurised water within, a locomotive boiler's tubes were subject to compression from without, again requiring thicker materials. 22: 324:, demonstrated in 1896 that they were not essential to the circulation of water inside a boiler of this type. However, while the Yarrow boiler employed entirely straight tubes through which water and steam circulated more freely, it was considered by some contemporary writers on the subject such as Leslie S. Robertson as "behind" in its circulation because of the absence of down-comers. Whereas the Yarrow boilers fitted to the 422:, which was capable of steaming at 30 knots, a set of four boilers and associated machinery required nearly 25 miles (40 kilometres) of tubing. Overall, her four boilers each measured about 12 feet (3.7 m) long by 10 feet (3 m) wide and, from the platforms on which her stokers worked, known as "firing flats", about 10 feet (3 m) high. While each of eight Reed boilers in 187:
to maximise surface area and therefore steam production, and baffles were used to direct hot gases. The lowest section of the lowest tubes of Reed boilers was originally bent into tight, "wavy" curves, also to maximise surface area, but this was discontinued by 1901 as it inhibited the flow of water and hence also steam. Further, the external diameter of the tubes tapered at their lower ends from
737:"The firm had originally offered to fit water tube boilers of their own design, but the Admiralty, presumably wary of an untried type of boiler, had offered for locomotive boilers instead. However, proved quite inadequate ... on trials in the late summer and autumn of 1895. ... The builders offered their own design but the Admiralty preferred to order Reed boilers from Palmer's." 136:, and, according to the local historians Jim Cuthbert and Ken Smith, "it was said that brought in iron ore at one end ... and sent it away again at the other end in the form of finished ships." Thus the Reed water tube boiler was a natural addition to the company's output, which had previously included other designs of boiler, such as the 211: inch (22 mm) to improve the passage of hot gases between them. They were connected perpendicularly to the chambers at each end, as were the tubes in the Normand boiler, to reduce stress. However, in the Reed boiler these connections were made by hemispherical faces, which allowed "a certain angular play". The tubes were secured by 92:, in the water tube boiler the situation was reversed, with water passing through steam-generating tubes mounted directly above the furnace. Advantages of the water tube boiler included comparative lightness and the ability to run at higher pressures. About 170 of Reed's water tube boilers were installed in ships of the 228:, the steam-generating tubes joined the top chamber above the water line, and their tops were "observed to get red-hot when the water was low." Overheated tubes were liable to fail. Large, external "down-comer" tubes transferred water from the top chamber to the two bottom ones. The down-comers thus promoted 626:
in 1902: "On making a careful comparison between water-tube and boilers, we find that the former will raise steam more quickly and maintain it more evenly and at much greater pressure. They can be much more easily renewed or repaired, without having to lay up the ship or pull up her decks for this

In the Normand boiler, the tubes were comparatively straight and a portion of those in the inner and outer rows of each bank were formed into "tube walls" to direct hot gases generated by the furnace through the boiler. In the Reed boiler, the tubes were bent into pronounced curves of varying radii
