The bot-tom of the chamber is fitted with flanges for overflow anddrain pipes as shown in section B-B. 156 PRACTICAL CONCRETE WORK A 1-inch steam pipe fitted to flant;es runs longitudinallyacross the bottom of the chamber, as shown in section B-Band section ABCD. The lower side of this pipe is perforatedat intervals of 1}^ to 2 inches by small holes to perrriit en-trance of steam from the source of supply.
