Not illustrated. 1884 Excerpt: ... may here be noted, in speaking of windows, that they cannot always be kept in a sanitary and cleanly condition without risk to the Cleaner, unless all sashes are made to swing open to the inside, This coil of pipes is placed in a box or tube, 24 x 16 x 6 inches, which may be placed in a recess or set on a wall bracket, about 6 feet from the floor to the top of the box. The coil of pipes are soon warmed by a gas jet, placed within the mouth of the inmost tube, and the heated fumes pass away through the zigzag pipe to the outside, or into a vent. The inflowing air, passing over the zigzag coil, absorbs the heat and scatters it to the room. In this manner, by the time the heated fumes reach the outlet and are liberated, heat has been communicated to the coil over which the inflowing air is heated as it is ushered into the apartment. Wherever a fire or a gaslight is used, their heated foul air outlets or vents, when combined with surrounded or partially-attached channel inlets, allow the heat imparted to the outlets to be utilised and carried to the apartment while obtaining the inflowing fresh air. These channelled outlet and inlet combinations become of mutual assistance for ventilation; while the foul air is being extracted in a separate channel, the fresh air is induced to come to the apartment on a road, whose partition is kept warmed by, but separated from, the outflowing foul air. If a window is raised or lowered, the air flows in as a draught, which, of course, cannot always be suffered; it is therefore intended to shew, in the sequel, how common windows, etc., may be made to ventilate a room, by giving the inflowing air an upward impetus by which the feeling of draught is diffused and lost.
