Where can I find reference material on Royal Navy coal-fired boilers, particularly the size of the firebox?

Short answer

Possibly a Norman Friedman book, and articles in the Royal Institution of Naval Architects collection; no particular title or dimensions are given.

The question concerns firebox dimensions in Royal Navy coal-fired boilers. A Norman Friedman book is suggested tentatively, without a specific title. Articles in the Royal Institution of Naval Architects collection are also identified as a source to consult. No firebox dimensions are supplied.
