The form being quite regular its surfacecan be accurately measured. 66. Cast-iron Steam-radiators.—Cast-iron radiators arenow mostly used in direct heating. Those principally used have vertical radiating surfaces, andare made either by screwing loops or sections into a hollowbase provided with the requisite openings, or by connectingat the bottom a series of parallel vertical sections by nipplesscrewed from the outside or inside of the base. The first formof radiators, having a base of fixed dimensions, is often calledthe standard form; the latter, which can be increased ordiminished in length by adding or taking off sections, is calleda sectional radiator. The radiator is in some instances provided with a flat topwhich is held in place by screws, but the greater portion of. KADI ITOKS AND HEATING SURFACES. I4I those of recent design have a highly ornamented surface andare used without top or screen ofany description. The illustra-tions, Figs. 93 to 106, give a veryfair idea of the appearance ofthose in use. They are paintedin various colors, enamelled orbronzed, as may be required bythe house owners or architects. The efficiency of direct radia-tion is somewhat increased bypainting or bronzing, but is les-sened by varnishing or enam-elling : but that of indirect is notso affected. These radiators are made ingreat variety of forms, and canbe had of such shape as to sur-round columns, or fit in corners;and of almost any height de-sired. Some of the radiatorsare fitted with warming closets.
