feet of radiation and with a tall smoke- 

 stack, it should be possible to carry a 

 fairly regular temperature for six 

 hours, by using a little Pocahontas or 

 lump coal in severe weather. There 

 will be little trouble about keeping the 

 heat down on bright mornings if the 

 house is properly provided with ven- 

 tilators. Of course the drafts on tlie 

 boiler should be closed and the check 

 opened. If there is an extra heavy 

 fire, it may be necessary to open the 

 fire door. 



A RANGE OF SIX HOUSES. 



Kindly let me know how many 1-inch 

 or 114-inch steam pipes will be required 

 in each house of my range, as shown 

 on the enclosed sketch. I have plenty 

 of 2-inch pipe for the flows. Please 

 state, also, the horsepower of the boiler 

 that will be needed, and give your

 Morehead trap system, as I cannot 

 place the boiler low enough to make 

 use of a gravity return. You will no-

 is some distance from the boiler and 

 that the main must be carried across 

 the open space. Of course I can place 

 the main and the return under the
