The city water system, which has a 

 pressure of about sixty-five pounds, is 

 connected to the return pipes and I had 

 planned to close the expansion tank 

 with an air cushion, but was unaole 

 to do so on account of the boiling pro- 

 clivities. You will note, on referring 

 to the sketch, that the flow pipe has a 

 fall from the boiler end of the houses 

 southward; is this right? Please recom- 

 mend such changes as you consider best 

 to put the system in the most service- 

 able condition. I wish to maintain a 

 temperature of 52 degrees. 



A proposed house, 30x60, also is shown 

 in the sketch. I wish to build this house 

 on ground that is about three feet higher 

 than the present greenhouse floors, and 

 ultimately I would raise the old houses 

 to the same level if such a change would 

 not interfere with the circulation. The 

 house 30x60 will contain 2,420 square 

 feet of glass and I estimate that twenty- 

 three runs of 2-inch pipe, fed by two 

 runs of 3-inch flow pipes, will heat the 

 house to the desired temperature of 60

assure perfect circulation of the water throughout the 

 boiler, thus maintaining a balance in all sections. 

 This insures a perfectly steady water line. 



There are Nlnctaan other specific reasons why the 

 Bombard is superior.
