Figure 132 shows another arrangement of a kitchen, and is in use in the residence of Mr. A. J. White, Fifth Avenue, New York City.

The kitchen is situated in a bay fronting on Sixty-sixth Street, the view showing three sides of an octagonal room, and illustrating an arrangement of two boilers - one on each side of the range - each being warmed by a separate water-back; the one on the right being the "Croton" or low-pressure service boiler, while the other is the "tank" or high-service boiler. The pipes are all of lead and very heavy, and the "back-air" pipe from the sink-trap is carried upward after entering the wall to the right of the sink. The "Croton," or street-supply, is shown coming through the floor just back of the sink-trap. From there it may be traced under the boiler and up at the side, entering at the centre "spud" of the boiler, and also continuing into the ceiling, it being the centre pipe of the three. To the right of it the hot-water pipe leaves the boiler and branches up and down, the downward pipe being for the sink-faucet. The pipe which is the left of the three which here enter the ceiling is the return hot-water or "circulation-pipe." Its course can be traced to its junction, with the hot water entering the back, beyond which point it joins the boiler, and continues to become the "draw-off" or sediment-pipe. On the left of the picture is the high-service or "tank-boiler." The pipe to the extreme left conveys the hot water from the boiler; the one in the centre is the cold-water supply from the tank, and the one on the right the circulation-pipe.
