"Had difTeient kinds of cast-iron boilers. I am assured that I 

 can save about one-third fuel with your boiler. I started flrlnc; 

 October 10 and the fire never went out up to this time, Hay 12. 1907. 

 This boiler heats both my dwelling and greenhouses and (tlves the best 

 of satisfaction. My dwelling is about 40 feet from the boiler. Can 

 r«ooiuin«nd your boiler to anybody. It is the only green- 

 house boiler." Q basleb, Buffalo. N. Y. 



"Had three cast-iron sectional boilers and find I can heat t^^lce 

 as mncb claaa witb yours and save about one-third fuel. 



We are using the Kroeschell-Honeywell Generator with the boiler and 

 belitrve it helps the boiler to distribute the water with a more rapid 

 flow, also saving fuel." n. Bommkbsbach. Decatur. 111. 



"I had a cast-iron sectional boiler before I got yours: vronld 

 not sive yours for a dozen of t)ia others. Your boiler is the 

 quickest heating boiler I ever saw. I hardly ever have the damper 

 over half open and the draft shut most of the time. In the four years 

 I had to buy a new section and four beads that had cracked, and I had 

 to be right with the cast-iron boiler and I would have to fire every 

 twenty or thirty minutes. The cast-iron boiler took much more 

 attention and more coal and would be leaking half the winter. I 

 want no more oast-Iron sectional boilers."

HOT VATER FOR ONE HOUSE. 



I have a three-quarter-span house, long 

 span to the south. It is 20x120 feet. 

 It has a 5-foot board wall on the north 

 side and on the ends. On the south side 

 the boards are three feet high, with two 

 feet of glass. It is eleven feet from 

 ground to ridge. There will be two 

 2-inch flow pipes overhead. How many 

 2-inch pipes will be required underneath 

 the benches, to maintain a temperature 

 of 58 degrees at night in zero weather, 

 with a high wind blowing, as I some- 

 times have it here? I will use hot 

 water. How large will my expansion 

 tank have to be? S. H. S. 



I would suggest that you use two 

 2%-inch flow pipes instead of the two 

 2-inch pipes, as suggested, and that you 

 use twelve 2-inch returns, six to each 

 flow. L. t). 0. 



INSUFnaENT BOILER CAPACITY. 



Please let me know how many feet of 

 pipe it will take to heat a greenhouse 

 for roses in a North Dakota climate, 

 maintaining a temperature of 60 de- 

 grees, with the outside temperature 40 

 to 45 degrees below zero. My new house 

 is 22x25 feet, ten feet to ridge; walls, 

 three feet on south side, five feet on 

 north side, with two center benches six 

 feet wide, and two side benches three 

 feet wide. I have a Wilks hot water 

 boiler, 30x48, two 3-inoh outlets and 

 two returns. Will this boiler be able to

keep a house 22x66 feet warm, besides 

 a five-room residence? I want to raise 

 roses, carnations and all kinds of flower- 

 ing plants. P. J. K. 



It is not quite clear from your letter 

 just what amount of radiation you wish 

 to place on your boiler. The new house, 

 22x25, will require 250 square feet of 

 radiation. The house 22x66 requires 560 

 square feet, and the dwelling will prob- 

 ably require about 500 square feet, mak- 

 ing a total of 1,310, which is far in ex- 

 cess of the rated capacity of your boiler, 

 which is listed to carry 650 to 750 square 

 feet of radiation. Your load should 

 have a 42x48 boiler, and if you run only 

 the 66- foot house and the dwelling you 

 would still require a 42x42 boiler.

STEAM FOR FIVE HOUSES. 



We are erecting at Seattle, Wash., 

 five houses, each 20x200 feet, with three 

 benches in each house, and under each 

 bench we have two 1^-inch return 

 pipes. We have a fall of about seven 

 feet in the houses, which run east and 

 west. The houses have also a fall of 

 eighteen inches north and south, the 

 south house being the lowest. The 

 boiler is a fifty horse-power return
