The Weekly Florists^ Review*

100 feet, and the boiler is ten feet lower 

 than the houses. Will that be plenty for 

 a gravity system? Are cheek valves 

 necessary at the boiler, for the returns? 

 If so, please state why. Where should I 

 place the air cocks? Will one at the 

 higher end of the flow pipe be enough? 

 I wrote some time ago inquiring about 

 the capacity of my boiler, but omitted 

 the length. The boiler is nine feet long 

 and three feet in diameter, and the fire- 

 box is 3x4 feet. It contains thirty-two 

 .S-inch flues and eighteen 4-inch flues. 

 How much more glass will it care for, 

 without being crowded? M. B. S. 



Your plan is a good one, except for 

 one thing, and that is the running of the 

 mains up in the air. You have enough 

 head room to allow putting the mains 

 in a trench, where they can be insulated, 

 thus saving a great amount of coal. Fol- 

 low your plan otherwise, but put the 

 mains underground and rise into the 

 returns, instead of coming down. Your 

 boiler will care for about 3,000 feet of 

 glass more than you have now. You do 

 not need a check on the return pipes, as 

 you will have a dry system. The pitch is 

 all right, unless it may be a little too 

 strong. G. T. E.
