be conveniently installed in the second story directly over the fill-

Where natural gas and gas from municipal corporations is 

 not available, one or more gasoline gas generators should be in- 

 stalled. These gas generators contain inflammable material and 

 should, therefore, be located at a reasonable distance from the main 

 building. 



List of Equipment. — The following is a Hst of the principal 

 machinery and equipment needed in an up-to-date condensery with

 1 boiler feed tank. 

 1 boiler feed pump. 

 1 boiler water heater.

 This would obviate the installation of a steam engine.
