situated in a corner of the room ; and, when it is swept, 

 the chimney-sweeper enters it by a door-way, which is 

 situated in front, just above the level of the upper surface 

 of the mass of brick- work, and which is closed by an 

 iron door. 



Each of the horizontal canals, by which the smoke is 

 carried off from the fire-places of the two large boilers 

 into the chimney, is furnished with a damper, which is 

 faintly marked in the figure. Each of the horizontal 

 canals, which carry off the smoke from the fire-places 

 of the stewpans, is likewise furnished with a damper; 

 but, to avoid confusion, they are not expressed in the 

 engraving. 



The bottoms of the ash-pit doors of the fire-places of 

 the three stewpans are on a level with the upper surface 

 of the step B ; but the bottoms of the ash-pit doors of 

 the fire-places of the two large boilers are on a level 

 with the pavement of the kitchen. 



The two large boilers (which are constructed of sheet 

 copper, tinned) are 22 Rhinland inches in diameter 

 above, 19^ inches in diameter below, and 24 inches 

 deep. They weigh each 62 Ibs. avoirdupois, and 

 contain 28 wine-gallons. The circular dishing-grates 

 belonging to their fire-places are each 10 inches in 

 diameter, measured externally ; and the fire-place, prop- 

 erly so called, or the cavity in which the burning fuel 

 is confined, is 10 inches in diameter below, 18 inches 

 in diameter above, and 8| inches deep. 



The largest stewpan is 12 inches in diameter, and 

 4 inches deep ; and the two others are each 1 1 inches 

 in diameter and 4 inches deep. 



The fire-places belonging to the stewpans are cylin- 

 drical, 5 inches deep and 6 inches in diameter, and 

 are furnished with circular dishing-grates.
