two benches in the middle of the house, 

 each five feet wide. 



"With the piping arranged as de- 

 scribed in the letter, it might be pos- 

 sible to maintain a temperature of 60 

 degrees in zero weather, but we would 

 not expect more than that, especially 

 as the two 2-inch flow ports in the 

 boiler should not be relied on for more 

 than 600 square feet of radiation and 

 that should be supplied by small pipes. 



We would prefer to use three 2%- 

 inch flow pipes, but, if it is not feasible 

 to tap the boiler so that three flows 

 could be connected, we would run a 

 2%-inch flow under the ridge, reduc- 

 ing it to connect with one of the 2-inch 

 ports. Then run one 2-inch flow upon 

 each plate and connect these with the 

 other port. Use twelve 2-inch returns, 

 placing three under each bench, and 

 connect those under the side benches 

 with the flows on the plates, and the 

 others with the overhead flow. The re- 

 turns should be connected with the 

 boiler by means of three 2-inch main 

 returns. 



By starting the overhead flow pipe 

 about thirty inches below the ridge, it 

 will be possible to place the expansion 

 tank between the flow pipe and the 

 ridge. The highest part of each of the 

 other flow pipes should also be connect- 

 ed with the expansion tank. If this is 

 done, the use of air valves will be 

 avoided. 



QBOUND SLOPES TO SOUTH. 



We are preparing ta rebuild our 

 greenhouses and want your advice 

 about the arrangement of the hot water 

 pipes. As is indicated in the rough 

 sketch which we enclose, the houses 

 will run north and south. There will 

 be two connected houses, each 22x80, 

 and one 18x50, west of the others and 

 separated from ..them by a partition. 

 You will also notice that we have 

 arranged to have the boiler room at the 

 south end of the west house, the shorter 

 one. This is done because the ground 

 has a slope to the south of two or 

 three feet to the hundred, but if you 

 can designate a better position for the 

 boiler we shall be pleased to have your 

 suggestion. 



In the two east houses we wish to 

 maintain a temperature of 50 to 55 

 degrees, and in the other house 60 de- 

 grees. The outside temperature here 

 seldom drops lower than 15 degrees 

 above zero. We already have 250 feet 

 of 4-inch pipe and 725 feet of the 2V2- 

 inch size, which we should like to use. 

 fhe two front gables will be of glass 

 and there will be two feet of glass in 

 the sides. The 4-foot walls under the 

 glass will be of hollow tile and con- 

 crete. The porth end of the houses 

 will be protected by the potting shed.
