Blastpipe

[W]ith this arrangement the cylinders are cast separately from the saddle, and bolted to the frames on each side with a fabricated stiffener between the frames. This stiffener is carried up to form the saddle for the smokebox, and within it is fitted the exhaust pipes from the cylinders to the blast pipe.

By this time the "King" had been fitted with four-row superheater, double blastpipe and chimney, and all the later modifications effected by Swindon in these engines, to which they responded so well with the poorer quality of fuel of their last years.
