New systern of Electric Heating.

New System Of Electric Heating.
A new system of electric heat is
upon the market, says the Scientific
American. 1t consists Of an electric
heater and blower. The motor is Of
the standard fan type, and is secured
to a conical metal case. There Is an
intake for air at the back. The heater
consists Of clay tubes wound with fine
German silver wire and covered with
an insulating coat of enamel. The
tubes are arranged radially and the
fan and the heater are both closed in
by metallic casing. The heater can
draw air from without the room or
car, or III cold weather can operate
using the air in the room or car. Two
Of these heaters will, it is said, heat
a 40-foot car to the proper tempera-
ture. In tn" ordinary system some of
the persons in the cars are uncomfort-
ably warm, while others are cold, but
with the fan distribution the heat is
positively distributed. The fan will
also prove useful in school buildings,
on ships and war vessels.
