The tiles at the angles or turns are of a different mould, and are in three pieces, one for each angle, there being no joint at the angle. The tiles at the boiler end are also different, having projecting collars for the more readily joining them with the pipes from the boiler a in ground-plan. The flow and return gutters are connected at two points in ground-plan, //, so that the cir- culation may be confined between either and the boiler: " at these points the gutters are covered by a wooden frame instead of a tile, in which is fixed a mov- able cover which exposes the plugs, by means of which the circulation is diverted across the house, or extended at pleasure along the entire ; As the ground.
