The Country House 



When possible, the radiators and inlets have been placed next the outer 

 walls, and under windows if possible. In the dining room it seems advisable 

 that the inlet duct should enter through the pantry, thus affording an easy 



solution of the vertical register and 



, , raising the low temperature <-t the room 



through which it passes. The halls have 

 4f|^ been treated as one room and the 



radiator placed on the floor, as the hot 

 air in its passage up through the stair- 

 way is naturally forced toward the 

 outer wall. The vestibule has been 

 provided with a radiator in order to 

 raise the temperature of the leakage 

 around the inner door into the hall. 

 The bathroom radiator has been placed 

 in the northwest corner as being the 

 best location. 



Inlets for fresh air have been pro- 

 vided for in the four rooms already 

 mentioned through the medium of the 

 heater, and in addition to these it is 

 advisable to provide for a fresh-air 

 inlet in the kitchen. That this may 

 be tempered from the extreme cold of 

 the outer air, it is passed over a small 



coil and brought into the room about f 6" above the floor; the coils are sufficient 

 to produce a temperature of 30 F. in zero weather; this may be reduced it it 

 be seen fit. The fresh-air supply for chambers B and C is admitted through the 

 windows, as such can be readily done by using the window board previously men- 

 tioned. Fresh air for the hall is supposed to be supplied by leakage in cold 

 weather. The fresh air supplied to the coils comes directly to them from the 

 adjacent cellar windows; if a more extensive indirect system be used, this supply 

 would be brought into the cellar through large ducts opening on eithei side, and 

 following under the cellar bottom to supply the individual coils. 



The vent outlets are through the fireplaces, as previously stated, and by top 

 ducts, all leading to a large flue in the rear chimney, through which the range and 

 heater flues, made of galvanised iron, are passed. This forces a draught, and it is 

 probable that one or the other flue will be hot for a considerable part of the year. 

 The kitchen vent is near the ceiling and the range, and a vent has been pro- 

 vided for in each chimney in the cellar. The top vents in parlour and dining room 

 are through perforated centrepieces above the gas jets. Being used mostly in 

 summer, they will carry off heat from the lights, and such air as is injured 

 by combustion, as well as the other impurities. The vents to chambers A and 

 B are placed on the under side of the arches, opening into the hall. The hall 

 vent is on the second story, and is provided with an outlet at the top and bottom, 

 the top outlet being arranged so that it may be closed in winter.
