To make the arrangement perfectly clear, I will say that the 

 barrel B is used merely to give pressure to the water in the stove ; 

 C is the faucet for drawing water from the barrel ; D the faucet 

 for emptying water out of stove, pipes and barrels. E is a cock 

 for letting out air from the pipes in order to prevent it from 

 interfering with the water circulation. F and G are cocks by 

 which the connection between stove and water pipes can be broken. 



If one of them is shut, the 

 circulation stops, and the 

 pipes will gradually cool off. 

 If it should be desired to 

 heat or boil the water in the 

 barrel, it can be done by 

 shutting off the two cocks,

 one in the vertical pipe lead- 

 ing from the upper heating 

 pipe to the barrel, thus com- 

 pleting the water circulation 

 through boiler and barrel.
