There was an error made on the drawing created to send to the boiler manufacture. The "wagon top" above the fire box is one foot (1') higher than it should be. And so the boiler was built to the wrong height.

For more information about this error see this on-line PDF of the Fall 2004 issue of the NSRM "Sagebursh Headlight." It has a write up by Chris DeWitt that tells what is the problem.
