From THE ENGINEERING RECORD.

(Prior to 1887 The Sanitary Engineer.)

A SELECTED REPRINT OF DESCRIPTIVE ARTICLES, QUESTIONS, AND ANSWERS.

WITH FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FIVE ILLUSTRATIONS.

Preface

THE ENGINEERING RECORD (prior to 1887 The Sanitary Engineer) has for sixteen years made its department of Steam and Hot-Water Heating and Ventilation a prominent feature. Besides the weekly illustrated descriptions of notable and interesting: current work, a great variety of questions in this field have been answered. In 1888 Steam-Hea'ing Problems was published. This was a selection of questions, answers, and descriptions that had been published during the preceding nine years, and dealt mainly with steam heating. The present book is intended to supplement this former publication, and includes a selection of the descriptions of hot-water, steam-heating, and ventilating installations in the different classes of buildings in the United States, prepared by the staff of THE Engineering RECORD, besides a collection of questions and answers on problems arising in this department of building engineering, covering; the period since 1888, in which the heating of dwellings by hot water has become popular in the United States. The favor with which Steam-Heating Problems has been received encourages the hope that American Steam and Hot-Water Practice may likewise prove useful to those who design, construct, and have charge of ventilating and heating apparatus.
