Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Profitable Poultry Farming: Bulletin No. 7; May, 1905
Lamp - Dimensions: diameter of the oil fount. 7} inches; depth, 2 inches; total height of lamp (including chimney), 8 inches. There should be a small handle on the oil fount. And a screw cap for filling with oil. A large size burner can be used, or a special water-cooled burner thc burner screws into an ordinary lamp collar soldered to the oil fount. The iron chimney is about 5 inches high; the diameter of the top of the chimney is 2} inches; the bottom diameter is 3 inches. A 1; inch hole should be punched in the chimney and covered inside with mica in order to see the ?ame. The top of the chimney is placed over the lower smoke pipe.
Heat Circulation - The fumes of the lamp enter the lower smoke pipe and ascend to the centre of the lower part of the heating chamber. The heat-re?ector compels their circulating to the outer edge of the heating chamber. They then ascend to the upper part of the chamber, flow back to the centre of the heater, and are carried on by the upper smoke pipe. Fuel is saved by this forced circulation of the lamp fumes: the hover is warmer at the outside than towards the centre, so that crowding of the chicks is materially prevented.
