pipes. Altogether, six 1%-inch returns 

 will be needed in these coils if there is 

 no glass in the outer wall, while eight 

 should be used if there is four feet of 

 glass. 



In arranging the return mains, care 

 should be taken to provide approxi- 

 mately the same capacity as that of the 

 flow pipes which supply them. 



As outlined above, in addition to using 

 the run of 3-inch pipe and three runs of 

 2-ineh pipe in one house and one run in 

 the other house, there wiU be twelve 

 nuis of l^^ineh pipe in the wide house 

 and either twelve or fourteen runs in 

 the other house. With the 4-inch pipe 

 and the 2% -inch pipe used for the flow 

 and return mains, this will use prae- 

 tieally all of the pipe on hand and may 

 require a few feet additional of 3-ineh 

 and 2-inch pipe, if the flow and return 

 mains are run as suggested. 



FBOM COAL TO CSUDE OIL. 



I have a house 32x154, with flve runs 

 of pipe and three lines of pipe in each 

 nm, making fifteen 2-inch lines of pipe 

 in the house. If I were to substitute 

 crude oil for coal, would it be practica- 

 ble and economical to heat each section 

 of pipe as per enclosed diagram with a 

 manifold representing a miniature boil- 

 er, thus having five manifolds and heat- 

 ing only the water in the pipes, not 

 what is in the 5-inch mains nor the vast 

 amount that is in the boiler f Coal is 

 a serious problem and the night man is 

 liable to walk off, leaving me in the 

 lurch. I shall have to put in a large 

 tank for oil storage. What kind of 

 burners could be used and how much oil 

 would be needed to heat each line of 

 pipe for sixty hours, keeping the water 

 at 176 degrees? My reason for wishing 

 to heat each run separately is that we 

 have much mild weather and I could use 

 three runs of pipe many nights, instead 

 of Iiaving them all attached and heat- 

 ing the big pipes at the end where they 

 eonnect. 



I read in The Review a few weeks 

 ago about one man's method of taking 

 eare of the fumes from his oil burner, 

 and I had that plan in mind. Will the 

 oil burn by gravity or will a forced 

 blast be necessary t B. J. P. — Pa. 



What is proposed is to substitute five 

 small boilers, to be heated with crude 

 oil, for the present large boiler, heated 

 by means of coal. There seem to be 

 several objections to this plan, aside 

 from the cost of making the installation. 

 We doubt whether it will be possible to 

 arrange anything in the way of a " man-
