Mechanical Contracting & Plumbing January-December 1912 . nearly opposite,was called, and the body was soon un-covered.

Adam Clark, of Hamilton, has securedthe contract for St. Giles church heatingand is putting in Spencer boilers. Tips for Helpers—By Phoenix Chapter 8. One of the most disagreeable tasks ofa heating job is getting the radiatorsfrom wherever they happen to be lefteach to its proper place on the job. Gen-erally, it is done with such a hurrahthat somebody is sure to get pinched orsmashed up. That is, it was so when I worked atthe business several years ago, as the only way we had then totackle this problem was to just go at itand take up the radiator and put it toits place by main force. Now on theradiator shown in Figure 2 on this page;it would take at least four very huskymen to carry it on the level. Going upor down stairs, six would be necessary. Figure 1. and as it was almost impossible to getthat number at the shop it was a case ofgoing out on the street and picking thehelp up and few of that kind were muchgood on a long heavy carry. Of course in some cities the matter ofshifting the radiators to their place istaken care of entirely by a trucking firmand the steamfitter never has to put hishand to them in this case. This is a verygood plan if the boss cares anything atall about saving his fitters for the know that when I was a fitter and hada hard days work ahead of handlingthe radiators, I never figured that Iwould be very much good for work thenext day and I was not a light weighteither. The radiator truck shown, or any thatanswers the same purpose is a mightyhandy and labor-saving piece of appar-atus to have around. Such a contrivance will save its cost several times over onthe first two jobs done, not to mentionthe danger that it does away with. Ona certain
