Top
view of one of two rear firebox to mainframe mountings. These mountings
prevent the firebox moving side-to-side, yet allow rearward movement.
Note the lubrication feed pipe.
As the smokebox end of the boiler
is rigidly fixed to the mainframes, generating the heat required to
raise the boiler from cold to full working pressure will result in the
firebox expanding backwards into the cab by approximately 0.75 inches.
