Peter Martins Hot AirFurnaces.
COLUMBUS, February 18th, 1866

COLUMBUS, February 18th, 1866.
To whom this may Concern
Peter Martin, of Cincinnati, has placed
his PATENT IMPROVED HoT AIR FURNACES
In our High School and District School No.
8. The Furnaces in District No. 8 have
been In use two years; those in the High
School during this winter. So far they
have given entire satisfaction. For eff
cheney in warming, quality of heat, econo-
my of fuel, and promptness of action, they
deserve special commendation. | cheer
fully recommend Mr.. Martins Furnaces to
any'who may desire an excellent mode OF
heating. E. D. KINGSLEY,
Supt. of Public Schools of Columbus.
CrRcLEvILLE, Feb. 18th, 1866.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building Of this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
Important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively. a greater heating surface; produces
q larger volume Of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air In respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is su-
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
plyof warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects Of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-hues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx Of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-ifonl
fiues from being overheated, and thus secure
the dutabihty of the furnace, and keep the
warm air In q healthful condition. It Is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board Of Education was induced
TO order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used In
our school ediflce without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after a careful examina-
tion Of a large number Of furnaces and
other modes Of warming school houses and
other public ediiices, not only In Western,
but also Ia Eastern cities, Mr., Martins was
elieved to be decidedly the best. sfzar
