PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Arthur Charles Henderson

ARTHUR CHARLES HENDERSON of 6 Southampton Buildings Holborn in the
county of Middlesex "IMPROVEMENTS IN STOVES FOR HEATING, BY A COMBINATION
OF HOT AIR AND WATER." A communication to me from abroad by the Firm of
Besson and Company, Manufacturers of heating and smoke consuming appliances
of 2 Boulevard de Strasbourg Paris in the Republic of France.
The stove forming the subject of the present invention is a stove the heat from
which is produced by a combination of hot air and water, the heat being regularly
supplied and it has the advantages of being economical and portable.
It consists of a cylindrical case in which is a fire place with grating: coal, coke,
or charcoal is supplied to it through a vertical pipe, running through the stove.
On each side a number of heating pipes or conduits are arranged, which pass to
the bottom of the stove. These receive the fresh air to be heated from the bottom
of the stove, and when heated they spread it in the atmosphere above, or it is
conducted by pipes or air openings in the direction required
The chimney traverses the body of the stove, and is surrounded as well as the
air conduits with water with which the stove is filled
A funnel above the stove admits the water but this may be supplied from a
reservoir situated near it, so as to supply it continuously.
Fresh air is led from the outside to the foot of the stove, and passing from
bottom to top through the conduits is there enveloped with the hot water and
leaving these pipes unchanged and heated spreads itself regularly and continuously
in the the place to be heated.
The same stove with the fire place may be used for transmitting heat to a
number of similar heaters but without fires situated at a distance on or below its
own level, and from these fireless stoves the hot air generated by the first is spread
by hot air openings placed above, so that by this means no heat is lost

page_text: 3rd Any similarly combined apparatus on the same principle and burning
lighting gas or otherwise, or some combustible liquid.
4th The novel mode of heating by means of a single heating stove in conjunction
with several heaters without fires (identically constructed in all other parts) and
placed on the same level or not, and heating the air in the same manner; that is to
say in passing through pipes for heating which are surrounded on all parts by a
volume of hot water from the heaters.
5th Heating the stove with coal, gas, or hydrocarburets for application in all
domestic or industrial uses, or in substitution of all other heating appliances;
reserving the right to vary the form of construction in accordance with the multiple
applications for producing an economical and healthy system of heating the
atmosphere which this stove is intended to fulfill.
In witness whereof I the said Arthur Charles Henderson have hereunto set
my hand and seal this twenty ninth day of January in the Year of Our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and eighty three
