NO NIGHT FIREMAN REQUIRED with 

 the WILKS SELF-FEEDING BOILERS, 

 as the macrazine or coal chamber holds 

 sufficient fuel to keep fire 10 to 12 hours 

 without attention. Best made for a small 

 greenhouse.

 means of a %-inch pipe with the 3-inch

 system do you think is the better — up- 

 hill or downhill? I have a Wilks boiler, 

 36x48, with a capacity of 900 feet of 

 radiation. Can you suggest any rem- 

 edy for the imperfect circulation!

Trom the sketch we learn that the 

 boiler is set in a pit two feet deep, and 

 the mait returns appear to be below 

 the bottom of the boiler. At any rate, 

 it would seem that the lower pipes in 

 the north coil are considerably below 

 the top of the boiler. While it may

not be necessary to lower the boiler, it 

 will certainly help the circulation if the 

 north coil can be raised so that the 

 bottom pipes will be as high as the 

 other coils. 



It was also a mistake to reduce the 

 size of the north flow pipe to 2 1^ -inch, 

 since it now supplies practically 500 

 square feet of radiating surface, which 

 is 100 to 150 feet more than is advis-
