Claims.—(1.) Draft-inducing and spark-arresting apparatus
for locomotive engines, wherein a steam-blower in the form
of an annular tube with steam inlets and outlets, and a wall
or fence having holes or openings through it, are so combined
as to be readily applicable to a blast-pipe to form around the
upper part thereof an intervening chamber through which
