The Ladd engineers and the Combustion Engineering Corporation engineers have in the short time since the consolidation of the two companies demonstrated the logic and advantage of boiler experts and com- bustion experts coming to- gether. One of the outstanding results of this combination is a new unit with a number of interesting new features installed at the Fordson Plant of the Ford Motor Company at River Rouge. This is the largest steam boiler in the world, develop- ing approximately 17,000 HP. and operating at extremely high efficiency. Not the least interesting feature of this installation is the fact that there is no brickwork in the fur- nace, the furnace walls being made of boiler tubes with fins or steel flanges welded to them. Thus the side walls of the furnace become boiler heating surface instead of a ronstant source of expense because of burned-out brickwork. In the Kips Bay Station of the New York Steam Corpora- tion, there are in operation three large Ladd Water Tube Boiler Units—each designed for a steam production of 825,000 lbs. per hour. These boilers are also equipped with Combustion Engineering Corporation water walls, water screens and air heaters.
