One touve also in the smoke-box an unburnt residue of coal, for the steam engines functioning with this fuel, which is called the breeze . This residue was, in the case of the locomotive with vapor, drained at the time of the garage of the engines to the deposit then used in the boiler room of the deposits or the additional buildings (for example: dormitories).
