456 On the Construction of Kitchen 



To strengthen the boiler at the brim, it must be fast- 

 ened to a curb of wood, which may be a frame of board 

 \\ or i \ inch thick, 5 inches wide, and just large enough 

 to allow the boiler to pass into it and be suspended by 

 its projecting brim. This brim, which may be made 

 about an inch wide, must be fastened down upon the 

 wooden curb with tinned nails or with small wood 

 screws. 



This curb will be 3 feet 10 inches long and 2 feet 

 10 inches wide ; and, as the stuff used is 5 inches wide, 

 it will measure very nearly 2f feet, superficial measure, 

 which, at 6d. the foot (which would be a fair price in 

 London for the work when done), would amount to 

 is. Af\d. 



The boiler must be furnished with a cover, which 

 may be made of wood, and should consist of three 

 distinct pieces framed and panelled, and united by 

 two pair of hinges, as they are represented in the fol- 

 lowing figure : 



Fig. 88. 



This cover will measure about 7 superficial feet, and, 

 at yd. the foot, will cost 4^. id. The hinges may cost 

 about ^d. the pair, consequently the cover will cost, all 

 together, about 45. qd.
