Dear Tom,
The Reading Atlantic had a "Wooten" firebox. These were very wide due for
the use of Anthracite screenings. I am told this was the cheapest coal that
could be bought. These were also used on camelbacks. On pictures of the
backhead on the camelbacks, there were two sets of firebox doors. I can only
assume this was for a more even distribution of the coal in these very wide
firebox.
