should be used; a proper amount 

 should be fed; the fire should neither 

 be too deep nor too thin, and sufficient 

 air should be admitted under the 

 grates. 



In view of all the factors that make 

 for success or failure, many of them 

 too, over which the designer has no 

 control, it is only ordinary common 

 sense that the boiler should be well 

 able for its work, and should have 

 from 3.3i% to 50% surplus capacity 

 after making all allowances strictly in 

 accordance with catalog directions for 

 figuring radiation. 



This will not cover a multitude of 

 sins, but it will help.
