Economic Arrangement of Machinery. In the arrangement 

 and connection of the machinery, economy of manufacture and 

 sanitation of the product should receive serious consideration. 

 The machinery should be so arranged as to reduce to the mini- 

 mum the space, pumps, pipes and conveyors needed. Pumps, 

 conveyors, pipes and fittings are expensive, and the space saved 

 by judicious arrangement of the stationary machinery may be 

 used to advantage for other purposes. 



Human muscle is the most expensive form of motive power. 

 Wherever muscle can be replaced by machinery and where, by 

 intelligent arrangement of the machinery, unnecessary steps and 

 handling can be avoided, the cost of manufacture is reduced. 



The matter of insulation of ammonia, brine, steam and water 

 pipes is an important item as related to the economy of fuel.
