Well, I don’t know anything about steam loco fire boxes. But that 3/8” steel “fire pan” and Venturi arrangement for the fuel nozzle was quite interesting to me.

Did that fire box work need to be approved by various ‘Authorities Having Jurisdiction’ such as a state boiler inspector or FRA? Wonder if a licensed Mechanical Engr had to sign off on it too? Interesting looking design.
