Detrick Rear Combustion Arches 



APPLIED TO YOUR BOILERS 



INSURE ECONOMY 



This arch is applied to rear combustion chambers in connection with Horizontal Return 

 Tubular boilers. Each tile is a separate unit, suspended like a pendulum upon the 

 flanges of the I-beam supports. The entire weight of the arch is carried directly into 

 the walls. There is no side thrust and the arch is free to move under expansion.

GLASS, VENTIIiATION, HEAT. 



I would appreciate your advice re- 

 garding glass for a house 21x91 feet, 

 ■which has 6-foot posts and 12-foot sash- 

 bars. I am trying to get away from 

 the high cost of glass as much as pos- 

 sible, and I was thinking of using single- 

 strength B grade glass, assorting the 

 heaviest of it for the parts most ex- 

 posed. 



Ill the matter of ventilators, would 

 you have them directly opposite each 

 other. or alternate them;' 



Using hot water, how many feet of 

 glass will be heateil to r>'i degrees in 

 zero weather bv a square foot of grate 

 area? A. E. P.— 111. 



Wliile single-strength glass will an- 

 swer well for the ends and sides of the 

 house, we would prefer to use double 

 strength if glass more tlian twelve or 

 fourteen inches wide is to be put in. 

 Narrow glass may be used for certain 

 plants, such as palms, ferns and violets, 

 but we would prefer glass sixteen to 

 twenty inches wide for roses, carnations 

 and most flowering }»lants. 



It will make little diflFerenee whether 

 the ventilators are oi»]»osite or alternate 

 with each other. 



The capaeity of a lH)iler de])ends not 

 only upon the area of the grate, but also 

 upon the amount and arrangement of the 

 hfeating surface. The house sliown in 

 the sketch is 21x91 feet, witli 12-foot 

 sashbars and with three feet of glass 

 .and three feet of concrete in the walls. 

 To heat this house with hot water to 

 55 degrees in zero weatlier, we would use 

 about 800 square feet of radiation. For 

 this tlie boiler should have four to five 

 feet of grate area. For a grate of this 

 size one square foot of grate area will 

 heat from HOO to 700 square feet of

The Market. 



Tlio su]i])ly and demand in tlio local 

 market showed little change during the 

 last week. Business during the month, 

 botli in cut Mowers and supplies, was 

 satisfactory. White roses were in short

 showed improvement. Only a few car-
