4O2 On the Construction of Kitchen 



This small saucepan is suspended in a cylinder, 

 which serves for confining the steam about it which 

 rises from the stewing-stove. 



The cover of this small saucepan is double, and, 

 instead of a handle, it is furnished with a kind of a 

 knob (d) formed of a hollow inverted cone of tin, which 

 occasionally serves as a foot for supporting the cover 

 when it is taken off from the saucepan and laid down 

 in an inverted position. This contrivance is designed 

 to prevent the inside of the cover from being exposed 

 to dirt when it is occasionally taken off and laid down. 

 The saucepan is furnished with a handle of the common 

 form (e\ which is represented in the figure. The handle 

 (/) of the stewpan is also shown, and that (g) of the 

 portable fire-place.- 



The following figure is a perspective view of the 

 portable furnace without the stewpan: 



Fig. 56. 



In this figure the three horizontal projecting arms 

 are distinctly seen, which serve to support the stewpan. 

 One of these arms, which is longer than the rest, serves 

 as a handle to the furnace.
