A strong metallic vessel, usually of wrought iron             plates riveted together, or a composite structure             variously formed, in which steam is generated for driving             engines, or for heating, cooking, or other purposes.          Note: The earliest steam boilers were usually spheres or                sections of spheres, heated wholly from the outside.                Watt used the wagon boiler (shaped like the top of a                covered wagon) which is still used with low pressures.                Most of the boilers in present use may be classified as                plain cylinder boilers, flue boilers, sectional and                tubular boilers.          {Barrel of a boiler}, the cylindrical part containing the             flues.          {Boiler plate}, {Boiler iron}, plate or rolled iron of about             a quarter to a half inch in thickness, used for making             boilers and tanks, for covering ships, etc.          {Cylinder boiler}, one which consists of a single iron             cylinder.          {Flue boilers} are usually single shells containing a small             number of large flues, through which the heat either             passes from the fire or returns to the chimney, and             sometimes containing a fire box inclosed by water.          {Locomotive boiler}, a boiler which contains an inclosed fire             box and a large number of small flues leading to the             chimney.          {Multiflue boiler}. Same as {Tubular boiler}, below.          {Sectional boiler}, a boiler composed of a number of             sections, which are usually of small capacity and similar             to, and connected with, each other. By multiplication of             the sections a boiler of any desired capacity can be built             up.          {Tubular boiler}, a boiler containing tubes which form flues,             and are surrounded by the water contained in the boiler.             See Illust. {of Steam boiler}, under {Steam}.          {Tubulous boiler}.
