Evolved From 2-Pipe System.
Modern hot-water heating has
evolved from the two-pipe gravity
return system. With the develop
ment of the circulating pump to
force the water through the radi-
ators, smaller pipes, higher boiler
water temperatures and smaller ra-
riators could be used.
As can be seen, this effects an
overall saving in the installation of
the heating system. The one-pipe

specialties Is the most popular Of

Cramped living quarters have ac-
counted for many new furniture
ideas and have Influenced the design
of a number of furniture pieces
Take, for example, the coffee table,
which has become an indispensable
item. Today it often functions as a
bookcase, indoor garden, holder of
smoking accessories, and is right
there when needed on which to de-
post glass or a dish. In many a
room it is the central piece Of
furniture.
Decorators will tell you that it is
no longer fashionable to be un-

your living quarters are the two
issues governing the fash
