THE WHITE MOUNTAIN INCUBATOR (See Fig. 87.) is another adaptation of other peoples ideas. In all the essentialpoints it is a minature Eclipse differing simple in shape andand arrangement of egg-trays, etc. It is regulated by a batteryand electric circuit. As its name indicates, it was hatchedout in the Old Granite State. the acme incubator (Shown by Fig. 88.) is the invention of the writer. It is a hot-air machine, and wasdesigned to meet a call for a cheaper machine than the Old Fig. 87.—THE WHITE MOUNTAIN INCUBATOR. Fig. 88 shows a one-hundred and fifty egg machine with doorsclosed. Fig. 89 shows the inside of egg-chamber which is explained asfollows:— The heat is generated by the lamp L, which has an ordinary B burner (one inch wick). A copper drum is heated by thislamp, from which the warm air radiates and passes upwardsthrough the hot-air chamber E, where the evaporating troughH, divides the current, and charges it with moisture. The shieldTJ, deflects the rising air over the drawers D D, in which theeggs are placed. By a peculiar arrangement, the air is caused topass out of the sides of the egg chamber at Y Y, and thencethrough the ventilators V V.
