C, flue passing from the heating apparatus under the pans 1 and 2, under also the clarifier; D, damper to shut off the heat of the fire from the pan No. 1 when required; E, cold air inlet; F, passage for con¬ ducting the heated air to the discs; G, covering to pan, which is to be arranged so as to admit of the liquid being introduced and removed from the 5 pan; H, pipe for the escape of vapour. We would remark that we are aware that discs have before been employed in pans for evaporating saccharine liquids, and heated air has been employed in conjunction therewith to aid the evaporation, we do not, therefore, claim the same when separately considered, this part of our Invention being peculiar in having the same means or furnace 10 to heat the air-heating apparatus and also the pans, as shown. Having thus described the nature of our said Invention, we would have it understood that we do not confine ourselves to the details herein described so long as the peculiar character of either part of our Invention be retained. But what we claim is,— First, the improvements herein described of combining the use of external metal flues with internal linings composed of short lengths of clay or earthen¬ ware tubes. And, Secondly, we claim the means of heating air and evaporating certain liquids by heated air. In witness whereof, I, the said William Symington, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Fourteenth day of September, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-two. W. (l.s.) SYMINGTON.
