As far as the stoves are concerned, they are pratically open fireplaces, and are so constructed that either one or the other may, be used. The descending flues are of steel and wrought iron. The enclosures are decorated with tiles, tending to give the stoves a brighter appearance and keep out dust. The air supply to wards may be regulated at will by valves in the stoves. In summer this air may be brought in cold.
Provision is made for the easy and efficient cleansing of both the smoke and air flues.
In the Wards where radiators are provided, inlets are placed behind he same, he gratings being actuated by rods. The locks and fittings throughout the building haw been specially constructed by Messrs. Colledge and Bridgen and are en suite on the several landings, with a special master key to pass the whole of the landing, and a grand master key to pass the whole of the Hospital. The sanitary works have been carded out by Messrs. Dent and Hellyer. Water is stored in cisterns in the sanitary towers, with overflow pipes discharging into the open air, the cisterns being covered in to keep out dust and dirt. There is also a separate direct supply from the main to each ward and kitchen.
