The system may be so arranged, that while the blower unit is in combination with the heater, it can be run independently and unrestricted by the heater, for summer cooling. The generators are so constructed that any kind of fuel, including oil or gas, can be used. The fires are controlled automatically by means of temperature control equipment, responding to thermostats placed in the theatre in various locations. Utmost flexibility is obtainable on account of the installation of these units or separate heat generators. Equipment of this type is being used in every class of theatre from the 300seat village playhouse to the 5,000-seat palatial home of the cinema art. On account of the exceptional flexibility, convenience, economy of operation, and perfect results obtained from the use of any kind of fuel, an owner obtains an up-to-date heating system as well as a properly designed ventilating plant for both winter and summer use. It is said that the installation cost is low and the operation is economical in such a system. American Foundry & Furnace Company, 915 E. Washington Street, Bloomington, 111.

Heating Systems, Oil 111 EATING by means of oil is growing rapidly in popularity among theatres. Some of the country’s largest playhouses are installing oil heating systems of various makes and types. They are also to be found in smaller theatres. Among the advantages claimed for oil heating is the matter of cleanliness and subsequent savings in draperies and redecorating costs. The operation being automatic the oil burner requires virtually no attention, effecting a saving in janitor service. Another advantage pointed out is the fact that oil burners give heat only when needed. Most oil burners are operated in connection with a thermostat so that when the temperature falls even one degree below the desired point the thermostat establishes connection which starts the burner again. When the temperature goes above the desired degree the heat is automatically shut off. Caloroil Burner Corporation, 225 W. 34th Street, New York City.
