BOSTON BALTIMORE SEATTLE SECTIONAL BOILERS--The header construction has been adopted in the Pierce Boilers as the most satisfactory type of sectional boiler construction. Quick circulation and steady waterline, with noiseless and eFficient service, are secured by connecting each section separately to flow and return headers, or domes, with large threaded lock nipples. The header construction has the decided advantage of allowing the adding or replacing of sections without taking the whole boiler apart or disarranging the piping. For large buildings these boilers' may be installed in batteries for economy of running in moderate weather; one alone to be used at such times. PIERCE MARK POINTS FOR SPECIFICATIONS---In making up specifications for heating installations' the following points are essential: That sufficient radiation be figured to heat the building properly; that the apparatus be located and installed in a practical way; that the building be provided with a flue of sufficient capacity. In estimating the size of boiler required for direct radiation, all piping (mains and risers, flow and return) must be...

Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
