which would not be satisfactory in op- 

 eration, we thought we would submit 

 the idea for your criticism. The pipe 

 used for the hot water coils in the 

 heater will be li/4-inch standard black 

 pipe, with branch tees attached. The 

 top of the furnace is to consist of an 

 iron plate surmounted by an iron cap, 

 forming a hot air chamber six inches 

 deep and the entire width of the fur- 

 nace. From the outside a pipe will 

 convey cold air to this and another pipe 

 will carry it to the sleeping room of 

 the fireman, while still another pipe will 

 draw the cold air from the sleeping 

 room and admit it to the furnace room. 

 From there all heated air will be per- 

 mitted to rise and pass into the green- 

 house, as the furnace room will extend 

 two feet inside the north end of the 

 greenhouse and the top of the furnace 

 room will be two feet higher thati the 

 ■floor of the greenhouse, thus giving free 

 circulation of air down into the furnace 

 room and out into the greenhouse. The 

 air coming in from the outside will tend 

 to keep the air in the sleeping room 

 dry and fresh, thus preventing the usual 

 trouble in sleeping rooms connected 

 with greenhouses, and the fresh air will 

 then pass on into the greenhouse. 



Please give us your opinion of the 

 practicability of this plan and state 

 whether it will pay. Also tell us what 

 percentage of the total heat units will 

 be furnished by the hot air from the 

 furnace and what percentage by the 

 water heater. Will it be better to make 

 the walls of brick or of solid cement? 

 What part should be firebrick? What 

 size should the cold air and hot air

While a combination heater, as de- 

 scribed, might be arranged to heat a 

 living room with hot air, it would not 

 be advisable to use the hot air for heat- 

 ing the greenhouse. The furnace room
