Hi Harry
Long time no see - maybe I will make it to your neck of the woods next time

Cheddar boilers have several cross tubes.  Without actually pulling one to
pieces so I can count them, they are all offset from one another so when you
look down the firetube they radiate like spokes. I have never heard of one
