Evaporated apples . These openings are 5 feet long and 1 foot high, are situated at the centre of the sides of the kiln and next to the are intended to provide for an ample supply of air for the kiln. Each openingis provided with a trap door, and arranged to open from the bottom inward to anyextent desired. In kiln D, the building construction prevented the direct intake ofair, so an air conductor was built along the ground in the corner of kiln C. This is2J feet wide and ± feet high and is made of galvanized iron. The piers 4, 4, 4, are 15inches long, 10 inches thick, and 8 inches

This is2J feet wide and ± feet high and is made of galvanized iron. The piers 4, 4, 4, are 15inches long, 10 inches thick, and 8 inches above the ground. On the top of the wall 2 inch by 8 inch planks are laid, while on the piers 6 inch by 8 inch timbersare placed. The joists under the work room are 2 inch by 10 inch, thus bringingthe work room floor 2 feet higher than the furnace room floor. Chimneys with doubleflues are built between kilns D and E, B and C, and A and work room. The baseof the last chimney is constructed around the air intake Flasi I. Fu? S, c Wall Plan For the outside studding 2 inch by 4 inch by 16 feet scantling are used. Thisallows for a 10-foot ceiling in the work room, and a space of 12 feet from the groundfloor to drying floor in the furnace room; also a distance of 6 feet upstairs (from floorto plate) in kilns and curing room. The joists for drying floors are 2 inch by 10inch by 20 feet, set 16 inches apart on their centres and they are bridged betweenevery joist at a distance of every 6J feet. The space between the studding on all foursides of each furnace room is filled in with concrete as high as the drying-room floor,and the outside walls are filled in to a height of about three feet above the slats. Thekiln slats are inch thick, inch wide on the top, and bevelled on two sides to half an inchwide on the bottom. They are laid three-sixteenths to one-quarter of an inch apart ontop edge, and are nailed with 2-inch wire finishing nails well set in. The sides of thebuilding
