Dear Sir:- It l8 a pleasure to recommend your Circulator for the very 

 e£flc ent work it does f<>r mn. I have two greenh 'Uaen, each 2U0 feet loner, 



glu- d for steam wlih IJ^-lnt-h pipes, and can operatH them perfectly with 

 ot water by u-lng the "Urculator: Inavey short time It bi logs the returns 

 n- arly an hot as the flows. Ah I have two of the Clrculaiors In use under 

 different co ditio 8, 1 am well able to judg-" of ih • wora ihey are capable 

 ol doing, and would not like to part with either of ih-^m.

BOILER AND PIPING. 



I intend to build a greenhouse 25x80 

 feet and wish to maintain a tempera- 

 ture of 55 degrees to 60 degrees. One 

 gable and also one side will contain 

 glass. The walls will be four feet high 

 and it will be ten feet to the ridge. 

 Kindly inform me what capacity of 

 boiler, also how many flows and how 

 many 2-inch returns will be needed. I 

 intend to use hot water. J. F. 



The house in question will require a 

 boiler rated to carry 1,000 feet of radia- 

 tion. The piping should consist of a 

 3-inch flow under the ridge and fourteen 

 2-inch return pipes arranged on the side 

 walls or under the benches, according 

 to the character of the crop grown. The 

 expansion tank should be attached to 

 the main return near the boiler and 

 should be elevated six to fifteen feet 

 above the highest point in the system.

IN DAKOTA. 



I have a house 16x60, with two paths 

 and three benches. The side benches 

 are three feet wide, and the one in the 

 center is six feet. The house is three- 

 quarter-span to the south. I want to 

 heat it to 55 degrees or 60 degrees at 

 night in South Dakota climate. I in- 

 tend to build a house 14x60 and join to 

 the south wall of the old house. This 

 .house will have two solid beds and two 

 walks. I want 45 degrees to 50 degrees 

 in this house at night. What is the 

 best way to arrange the pipes in these 

 houses and what size of pipe is best 

 to use for hot water t I have a Wilks 

 heater. How many feet of each size of 

 pij>e will each house require t G. T. 



The house to be heated to 60 degrees 

 should be provided with a 2 V^ -inch flow 

 pipe under the ridge and eleven 2-inch 

 returns arranged in coils under the 

 benches, so as to place an extra pipe 

 under the bench on the most exposed 

 side of the house. 



The smaller house, to be run at 50 

 degrees, should be provided with a 2- 

 inch flow pipe from the boiler to the 

 far end of the house, where it should 

 divide to supply two manifolds, one 

 consisting of four pipes on the protected 

 wall and one of five pipes on the ex-
