Under rule 10
“Flues to be removed—All flues of locomotive boilers in service, except as otherwise provided, shall be removed at least once every four years for the purpose of making a thorough examination of the entire interior of the boiler and its bracing. After the flues are taken out the inside of the boiler must have the scale removed and be thoroughly cleaned and inspected. The removal of flues will be due after 48 calendar months’ service provided such service is performed within five consecutive years.”
The book I have was amended March 27, 1947.
