    Langmead's Improved Manufacture of Fire Grates, §c. it has a framed closet above it, which keeps out the dust or soot, and incloses the steam from going into the room. In this closet is a hole on one side, to let the steam into the chimney. In the cast-iron boiler is a screw socket, cast for the use of a cock, which may be screwed on and off at pleasure. From the 5 top of the hot closet in front to the top of the steam closet is a plate of iron from one to the other, which forms the whole into a square frame and incloses the whole opening of the chimney. The sides of the flew or channel round the oven and boiler are cast iron; the back of the range is of the same mettle. The range part for the fire hath a bar on the top to let down or to draw out, 10 to form a double bar for the use of setting saucepans, &c. on it. The range hath two cheeks, which wind up on each side to shift the fire under the oven or boiler, or both, at pleasure. This fire grate, when for the use of camps or ships, hath an iron or copper funell to carry the smoak off, it being inclosed at the back with cast or hammered iron above the back of the range, which is 15 of cast iron.
