Colonel James Tucker, of Boston, furnished us with the plan, Figure 128 (see page 186), and description of the method he adopted in fitting up a horizontal boiler in a house near Boston, which we take from the Sanitary Engineer of December 1, 1880.

The construction of the kitchen would not admit of the boiler being placed in the usual upright position; the sink and range occupied all the space between the two doors, there being no other available place to locate the sink, consequently the boiler was made to order and slung horizontally over the range, on two iron bands three inches by one-quarter of an inch, connected on top of boiler by bolts and 3/4-inch rods run up through the floor timbers with nuts on top. The water can be drawn off in the usual way and the boiler removed if necessary, the iron rods remaining in place. The cost of the iron rods and bands did not exceed two dollars more than the usual iron stand.
