Re the addition of the portable engine image, are we correct in including those boilers were the firebox is round-topped (and so has the staying problem), but where it is raised above the barrel line (see the VoR image), thus removing the round-topped boiler's main claim to simplicity? Is there a distinct term for such designs? I can't quite see which it is for the portable engine, but many such engines did have raised firebox wrappers.
