Hallo,
ich weiß nicht, ob ich hier richtig bin mit dem Thema Dampflok…?
Das Thema meiner Frag -, die deutsche Bezeichnung für einen „diamond stack“ (rautenförmiger Schornstein?)- findet sich hier:

Zitat daraus:
Where the diamond stack is used, the size and shape of the cone and its attachments make a material difference in the steaming qualities of a locomotive, but it is merely a case of great or greater obstruction to the draft. The tendency is to improve the cone by abolishing it altogether; but where that remedy is not in order, it should be constructed and set so that the gases will not rebound into the cylindrical part of the stack after striking the cone. Where the cone is set low in the diamond this is liable to happen. When the lower angle of the diamond is formed flat, the tendency is to cause an eddy of the escaping gases, which is detrimental to free steaming.
Gibt es einen deutschen Fachausdruck für einen solchen Schornstein?
Danke & Gruß,
Eva
