Coal Furnace Details

[Bill Kibbel]

I saw an old octopus furnace again today. I might be the only one that gets excited to see a >100 year furnace still doin' duty. If not, maybe someone else might find this 1897 publication interesting.

Cool catalog.

I haven't seen one in a couple years. I kinda miss being able to walk folks thru a little history of heating........

Marvelous document. Thanks for posting it. They certainly had a sense of style then that is presently out of fashion.

If you ever happen to run into an old manual for a sawdust-burning furnace, please let me know.
