Fig. 3664, the burners
B B′ B′ B‴ have sheet-metal chimneys and mica doors, so that their combustion may be watched and regulated.
The bottoms of the boilers
H I have peculiarly shaped chambers
N R, to expose a large surface to the heat.
The oven

In
Fig. 3665, a series of oil-reservoirs are arranged between two horizontal plates, and may be turned around on rollers so as to present either in front.
The vapors formed over the surface of the oil in each reservoir are conducted by pipes
b into the lower part of the chimney
B, beneath a wire-gauze diaphragm, to prevent danger of explosion.
The burners of the reservoirs are within
sheet-iron vessels of inverted conical form, adapted to receive cooking-vessels, and provided with mica doors; the products of combustion are conducted by pipes
f f into the central chimney
B. See also
