. . RADIATORS
Column and large-tube radiators are no longer manufactured, but since many of these units are still in use, Tables 1 and 2 are included to provide principal dimensions and average ratings.
The small-tube type radiators, with a spacing of If in. per section, occupy less space than the older column and large-tube radiators, and are particu larly suited for installation in recesses.
After a study of the demand for various sizes of radiators, the Institute of s

Boiler and Radiator Manufacturers, in cooperation with the Division of
Simplified Practice, National Bureau of Standards, established Simplified Practice Recommendation R174-47, Cast Iron Radiators, for small-tube cast-iron radiators. Table 3 shows the size and dimensions now being manufactured.
Yradiators are hung from wall brackets and are well adapted to use
m tactory buildings. Tests have shown that the heat emitted from a wallype radiator may be reduced from 5 to 10 percent if the radiator is placed

with the bars horizontal and in an air temperature exInstallation of wall radiators at the ceiling is not recom-
