THE KING GUTTER is a great advance on 

 anything else of the kind. The E. G. Hill 

 Company, who have used them in their new 

 range, write: "Everything fits admirably, and 

 we are much attached to the King Gutters. 

 We think that the next time we build we 

 will use the entire King Construction."

A RETURN TRAP FOR GREEN- 

 HOUSES. 



A return trap built to solve the 

 florists' steam heating problems, has 

 been placed on the market by the 

 Morehead Manufacturing Company, of 

 Detroit. Mich. The old systems of 

 gravity returns by placing the boiler 

 below the ground, or the employment 

 of a pump to return the water to the 

 boiler against the steam pressure, 

 were both expensive and unsatisfac- 

 tory. 



The Morehead Return Trap is a sim- 

 ple, and inexpensive device for re- 

 turning condensation in steam pipes 

 to the boilers regardless of the posi- 

 tion of the latter, whether above or 

 below the coils. It is claimed that 

 once installed, it requires little or no 

 attention and can be relied upon under 

 all conditions. 



The trap consists of a cylindrical 

 steel tank receiver of suitable capacity, 

 swung on a brass trunion and actuated 

 by a counter weight. Two smaller 

 counter weights, in turn actuated by 

 the larger, automatically operate a 

 steam admission and an air relief 

 valve. A steam port and two water 

 connections, the latter provided with 

 check valves for maintaining a flow 

 in one direction, completes the list 

 of trap parts. 



The condensation in the returns is 

 forced into the trap tank by the steam 

 pressure from behind. When the tanli 

 has received a requisite amount of 

 water, it tilts, automatically opening 

 the live steam valve admitting steam 

 at boiler pressure to the tank, thereby 

 equalizing the pressure in the system 

 and permitting the contents to flow 

 into the boiler by gravity. All raovins? 

 and adjustable parts are entirely out- 

 side, consequently easily accessible. 



In line with this subject, the More- 

 head Manufacturing Company are dis- 

 tributing an attractive booklet de- 

 voted to the interests of florists and 

 greenhouse owners in general. We 

 recommend our readers to send for a 

 copy.
