If your heating apparatus gives you 

 any trouble, or if you are in doubt as 

 to how to pipe the season's new addi- 

 tion, write to the Beview. Give all the 

 details. An answer to your question will 

 be published in this department. 



The Morehead Mfg. Co., of Detroit, 

 writes that it has started suit in the 

 U. S. Circuit Court, before Judge Swan, 

 for an injunction to prevent the manu- 

 facture and the sale of the Detroit 

 Steam Trap. It states that it also has 

 instituted a suit against Mr. Morehead 

 in the same court for infringement of 

 the patents belonging to the Morehead 

 Mfg. Co. and applying to the Morehead 

 Steam Trap. 



STEAM HEAT WITH GAS AS FUEU 



I have a. house, 20x100, on a grade; 

 one-half measures nine feet to the ridge 

 and the other half eleven feet to the 

 ridge. The average height on the sides 

 is two feet. The beds are nearly all 

 solid. The house is used for lettuce and 

 bedding plants. I want to heat it with 

 a ten horse-power return flue boiler, plac- 

 ing the pipes on the sides and under the 

 ridge. The boiler will be placed at the

Dear Sirs:— If the Morehead Return Trap cost ten times what you ask for it, it would 

 be cheap when time, labor and cost of repairs are consid- 

 ered, in comparison with the steam pump I had installed 

 before Ketting your Trap. I cannot praise it too highly and 

 I recommend it to everyone who talks steam. Yours, 



F. W. MEYER.

lower end, to heat with steam. How 

 many runs of 2-inch pipe will I need? 



The hou6e is well built, but not pro- 

 tected in any way. The temperature in 

 this part of Ohio seldom goes lower than 

 10 or 12 degrees below zero. There are 

 gas wells on all sides of the house, so we 

 intend to try it as fuel, which will save 

 a night fireman. O. E. K. 



If, as I understand your problem, it 

 is to heat a house 20x100 with steam, 

 using gas for fuel, I would say, use 

 11/4 -inch pipes for returns and a 2-inch 



pipe for the main flow or riser only. A 

 single 2-inch flow from the boiler lo 

 the far end of the house, under the 

 ridge, with twelve l^-inch returns, 

 should give a temperature of 65 to 70 

 degrees under zero weather. The small 

 pipes are easier to install, and a little 

 cheaper than large pipe for a given 

 amount of radiation. L. C. C.
