GET WISE 



TO THE FACT 



You Will Save Coal 



by installing The Martin Rocking Ch>ate. Costs a little more 

 than ordinary grates, but the coal burns— it doesn't go into the 

 ashpit. 



We refer to Peter Reinberg, Emil Buettner, Basaett & Washburn, Wietor Bros.. 

 Aflara Zander, Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Reed Co., and many others. 

 Tliey will tell you to order the Martin RocklnK Grate for the new boilers 

 to be put in this sea&on. Write for catalogue and prices.

^re made of two courses of matched 

 boards, with paper between. The val- 

 leys are six feet high and the ridges ten 

 feet. The boiler is a horizontal tubular, 

 sixteen feet long and sixty inches in 

 diameter, and contains fifty-four 4-inch 

 flues. There is a 2-foot steam dome 

 with a 4-inch opening and there is a 

 21^ -inch inlet at the bottom of the 

 boiler. The boiler shed is at the north- 

 west corner of the range and along the 

 west side. The bottom of the boiler is 

 a little below the level of the floor of 

 the greenhouses. 



If I use steam heat, how* many 1^- 

 inch pipes will be required for each 

 apartment, to maintain a temperature 

 of 50 to 60 degrees? What size of flow 

 pipes will be needed? On account of 

 the boiler not being lower, will it be 

 necessary to use a steam trap? If I use 

 hot water, how many 2-inch pipes and 

 what size of flows "ipill be needed? In 

 that case, will it be necessary to install 

 a generator? In order to use hot water, 

 what changes must be made, especially 

 with reference to the size of the outlet 

 and inlet? J. W. M. 



The openings in the boiler are all 

 right for steam; in fact, a slightly 

 smaller flow might be used, but I would 

 suggest that you start with a 4-inch 

 and reduce to 3-inch after taking off a 

 feed pipe to the nearest house. Use a 

 2-inch feed for each house and run it 

 under the ridge, or run a 1%-inch pipe 

 on each plate. For 60 degrees use three 

 114-inch pipes on the outside walls of 

 the outer houses and six pipes on the 

 posts between the houses. For 50 de- 

 grees reduce the number on the posts to 

 five pipes. A steam trap would be 

 necessary, unless the returns are two 

 feet above the boiler. 



For heating the plant with hot water, 

 the return opening should be of the 

 same size as the flow. Even then the 

 capacity of the mains will be too small, 

 but if the flow and return pipes to the 

 nearest house are connected within a 

 few feet of the boiler, this difficulty 

 will be largely corrected. In piping the 

 houses for hot water, run a 2% -inch 

 flow upon each plate and place three 2- 

 inch returns on each outer wall and 

 five upon each row of posts under the 

 valleys, for 50 degrees. In houses 

 where a temperature of 60 degrees is 

 desired, use four returns on the outer 

 walls and seven on the posts. One 2%- 

 inch flow and return can be used to con- 

 nect with the main flow imd return. 

 Carry up the main flow^ t^a nM^ht sev- 

 eral feet above the boiler and attach a 

 generator.
