also on the area ami arrangement of 

 the heating surfaces. If the fire surface 

 is properly adjusted to the grate area, 

 we would consider the boiler capable 

 of handling 800 square feet of hot water 

 radiation and this should heat 2,800 

 square feet of glass to 55 degrees. This 

 would represent a house 20x100 feet, or 

 two houses 20x50 feet, with two feet of 

 glass in each wall. 



As nearly as we can tell from the 

 sketch, the boiler lias ports for one 

 flow pipe and for three 1-inch returns. 

 For a house of the width mentioned we 

 would use two 2ii.-in(di flow pipes if the 

 length of the liouse is fifty feet, or 

 three such flows if the length is 100 

 feet, and the return mains should be 

 of the same size and number. In addi- 

 tion to the flow pipe, we would use nine 

 2-inch returns witli the three flows and 

 ten returns when there are only two 

 flow pipes. If there are two flows we 

 would place one upon each plate, and 

 if there is a third flow pipe it should
