Excerpt from Furnace Heating: A Practical and Comprehensive Treatise on Warming Buildings With Hot Air, With an Appendix on Furnace Fittings

Since the first edition of this treatise was prepared, in 1900, a considerable advance has been made in the practice of furnace heating, and the theory in relation to it has received greater attention'. Rules based on heat losses through walls and glass and the heat given off by furnaces have ih' a large measure superseded rule of thumb methods. Failures are doubtless fewer, due to a better understanding of the subject on the part of architects and heating contractors.

This treatise, to which much new matter has been added, covers the subject of furnace heating in a general way, but for detailed information as to the construction of furnaces the reader is referred to manufacturers' catalogues.

Attention is called to the note under the heading, Appen dix I, page 120.
