With reference to the florists' favor-

The Truth About Grate Measurements and Ratings 



Based on the amount of grate space that the Are covers, combined with the 

 amount of water heated to a certain temperature, in a certain length of time 

 with a certain charge of coal— boiler ratings are figured out. 



To make boilers appear more economical than they really are. it's a very 

 easy thing to make "a slip" when measuring grates. To avoid the look of 



"a slip," various makers have various ways 

 of measuring. But to our notion, there is 

 only one way to measure a grate, and that is 

 to measure the grate. 



To find the grate surface on any Burnham, 

 simply measure the inside limits of the base. 

 All that surface is grate surface, because all 

 that surface is filled with the fire. 



We tell you this, so 

 you may know just as 

 much as we know about 

 it: so you can, if you 

 wish, prove to yourself 

 that Burnham Boilers 

 are honest, rated from 

 the bottom up. 



When we say a 

 Burnham will heat so 

 many feet of radia- 

 tion, it will heat so 

 many feet. 



Burnham grates shake half at a 

 time, making them shake half 

 again as easy. We were the first 

 greenhouse boiler makers to make 

 half shaking grates. 



A wrench, a screw driver and two 

 men are all you need to set up a 

 Burnham.
