  "term": "Smoke deflector",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A panel or wing fitted to the sides of a steam locomotive's smokebox, designed to lift the exhaust smoke clear of the driver's line of sight. These deflectors create an aerodynamic effect that directs the smoke upwards, preventing it from obscuring visibility. They are a characteristic feature of many larger steam locomotive designs.",
