Top View of Water Jflan Section E-F between air and gas chambers, they can be ignored, using oil;but with gas they would necessitate a shutdown of the furnaceto repair them. The same applies to ports and downtakes. Fourth, the character of the oil not being subject to thesame latitudes of irregularity as the composition of the gas,there results a decided gain in the certainty of the furnaces Nickel Steel and Boiler instruction .301 work. Tlu temperature of the bath is under control, andregularity of outpul can be expected- a feature not so depend-able with gas, Fifth, the labor cost is greatly lowered. One man perworking day attends the pumps. In the gas house there willbe a foreman and several laborers to feed and poke the fires, andto wheel away the ashes. The labor in unloading and stockingcoal is also eliminated. With these features can be mentionedthe removal of the attendant dirt and smoke with gas producers,the loss of time in cleaning gas mains, and other conditions thatwould
