THE TRAVIS GREENHOUSE ROCKER GRATE 



will increase your heating capacity, because 



you will have complete control of your draft, which means less 

 fuel, time, labor and trouble. 



The mash finger grate admits air through 



every air space and is the only perfect design. It is impossible 

 to avoid this construction and receive the best results. 



They are the only rocker grates that will 



handle Pocahontas coal and not waste it in the ashpit. 



They are adapted to the tubular, fire box, in- 

 ternally fired or sectional boilers. 



They are supported the same as stationary 



grates. No changes in the furnace whatever and no tools are 

 required when installing them. 



You can use a cheaper quality of coal. An 



evenly distributed draft, completely controlled, burns cinders 

 until they are brittle and are easily rattled through the grate. 



The particular construction of these grates 



relieves the cinders without molesting the fire bed. Many of 

 our grates have been in constant use during the winter which 

 is now drawing to a close, and we are receiving many testi- 

 monials telling of the satisfaction and pleasure our customers 

 are deriving from the Travis Rocker Grate.

Gentlemen :— We have now given those grates a good 

 trial, and I believe they have increased the heatiog capacity 

 of my boiler about one-third. I am pleased with them. 



Yours truly,

Buy the Chicago Trap 



It has two tanks; the larger one does not move. Only the small one 

 moves to operate the valves. Objections to the tilting Trap are overcome by 

 carrying the weight of fixed tank and the water on special fittings, and not 

 on the trunnions, as in all other tilting traps. Only the pilot Tank moves 

 on the CHICAGO TRAP. Trunnions are only U inch, and packed with 

 METALLIC PACKING, which wears indefinitely. The valves are also 

 packed with METALLIC PACKING. 



Return your condensation to the boiler and save the HEAT UNITS; 

 only one-tenth the steam required to operate a pump.
