<HTML>The Derr boiler as used in the Stanley, as a replacement boiler was comprised of ten grids with each grid having ten tubes at 10 degrees. There was a space just above the second tube from the burner for the superheater comprised of sixty feet of three-eights pipe. The boiler was bit heaver then a standard 18” high boiler but in my opinion is a far better boiler.
You can read about it in the book the Modern Steam Car by Floyd Clymer
