dow frame and sash, we screw a bracket
to the upper outside corner of top lash
one inch below head casing, and on these
screw a shelf which extends across the
window and projects two inches, more OF
less as desired, and comes across the cas-
irg of the frame on both sides, on the
front side of this we fasten a casing
eight and one-half (SR) wide to give
more room to cover and make a bet
ter finish for head; on this we screw
the fxtues as shown in cut, and shade is
screwed underneath as shown, and the
air coming in over the window ag ai..st
the head casing and is thus forced to
blow upward toward the ceiling ard is
there broken up and mixed with the
warm air from the radiator. and desceEds
to be heated and return up to mix with
the cold air; this makes pure warm air
for the room.
Now We must provide some way to take
the bad air in the room out so as to make
room for the good air so if we are MAX
ing a new house we make outside walls
with large chlmreys extending from base
ment to Well bow the roof, and connect
with them as shown in cut at floor line,
and other rooms hat are away from the
wall, or so situated as to not be near a
chimney, we a k the bad air up between
the studding and thence across to the
chimney.
But if We are applying it to Did houses
we must u a pip in one room where
four come together from the basement to
peak Of house large enough to make a
good draft from all the rooms in reach of
the different stories, and connect with
pipes and hampers in each room.
Now, with tbs arrangement, anyone
must see that we have a continuous cur
rent OF air. as much as our heating sur
face will heat, which makes a continuous
current OF pure warm air, without draft,
or any bother: and with enough surface
to warm the air ore can charge the air
every hour and have absolutely perfect
ventilation operated by natural laws, and
make a house take in pure air aid breathe
it just as we breathe
Another arrangement adapted to al
most all CLASSES of buildings is to let the
air in the same as before and cut out
Dashboard and put doors the same as is
shown in drawing. SO that it can be ad-
justed so as always to make outlet
smaller than inlet so that the warm air
will crown out around windows and
doors instead of sucking in.
And now we open up an Quiet for the
air and make a draft in the cupola- sky
light. or a special ventilating building on
the roof and this draws the foul air up
the stairways through the halls out OF
the rooms and from the uttermost part
of the building where there is a chance
for air to get in to replace it.
But there are several features about our
window ventilators that do not show on
the drawing.
One is that We put in our rackets and
shelf and take head casing off and put on
the edge of the shelf and it looks the same
as before, only one inch out and the place
where the head casing was makes enc
inch more, and two inches are enough for
general purposes.
Then we paper over where the head
casing was with the same paper as the
room and it scarcely shows at all unless
It comes down the width of the casing
and two inches would be as much as
would often be wanted, and where it is
plastered white cambria will do as we'll.
Also we put a piece of light screen Goth
from the top edge of head casing fast
ened to a strip that win pull out if the
window goes down too low, and the other
edge is fastened to the lower edge of
frame and that almost stops any draft
ard all dust, flies or mosquitoes and
makes window screens unnecessary.
Also we put a spring catch on sash to
hold it in place and serve as a handle and
a small sash lift on other side.
Also, we put a piece of weather strip on
outside of lower glass on bottom of top
sash to keep the air from coming up be-
tween when the upper sash is lowered.
Also the curtains being in their usual
place, and the air going over them. they
oic III VhStui'Oeu III the IedSL ana any
one can have air in their rooms that
wants to.
| And everyone knows that it Is practi-
cally impossible for anyone to have air
from a window now for the curtains
blow, the sash rattle and there is a draft.
Our window ventilators are esp ecially
desirable in kitchens, for where there are
two windows there is a chance for the air
to blow in from enc side and carry the
smoke out the other without a draft.
And in all school-houses and halls they
ehauld AVE this arrangement for sum-
mer ventilation, n right here j will say
