The efficiency of the SO-inch series of Capitol Smokeless Boilers is shown strikingly by the typical performance curve below. The chart is based on many individual tests and the ratings are fixed conservatively. Notice the high volatile coal used for these tests.

Capitol Smokeless Boilers--40" Series
The Capitol Testing Laboratory has gone even farther than designing the most efficient smokeless boilers known. The 40-inch series has a 49-inch water line. No lower water line is necessary for any room with a ceiling high enough to allow men to work.
Not only fuel is saved; building costs are cut. No pit is needed. Construction savings alone, particularly where water in the basement must be guarded against and where foundations must be cut in rock, frequently pay for the entire heating plant. For large installations in such locations a tandem of 40-inch Capitol Boilers is often used in pref erence to a single boiler of larger site.
Important as this exclusive advantage is, however, it is secondary to the remarkable economy that results from the efficient operation of the Capitol 40-inch series.
' With no pit required and no base section on/this boiler, installation is simplified. Any bituminous coal or lignite may. be used successfully; burned economically and'smokelesray by any ordinary fireman.`
Auxiliary air is admitted just above the fuel bed through passageways cast across the entire width' of the front boiler section. The sise of the air. passages are correctly proportioned by the Capitol. Testing Laboratory and need ho adjusting. The greater portion of the air is taken from the ashpit The remainder, enters the passageways through openings in the clinker door. The amount of air drawn

in is automatically regulated to the rate of combustion in the exact amounts required.
This pre-heated air with its original oxygen sweeps across the fuel bed until it reaches a water-containing Curtain cast in a section near the back, which forces it to mingle
with the gases as they pass beneath it. Then they hit the lower, solid portion of a water-filled
bridgewall (which requires no fire-brick), mix completely.

Back to the front of the boiler they must go. through two bottom flues and then return through two top flues, heating water every inch of the way, before they pass out of the boiler.
Without the foregoing facts the performance chart shown below might be bard to believe. Any fair test will substantiate this curve of efficiency that has no equal in the smokeless boiler field.

Capitol Smokeless Boilers--27" Series
Smokeless boilers are as desirable for large residences and small apartments as they are for largo1 commercial buildings, since smoke is a particular nuisance around homes. In addition, smokeless operation means greatest fuel economy in small installations as well as large.
To meet this large and growing demand; the Capitol 27-inch series Smokeless Boiler has been designed.
Capitol ease of operation and mechanical certainty of proper auxiliary air supply, important in the larger sixes, become a necessity in a small installation which has not an attendant who devotes as much time to its care.
Any fireman can shovel soft coal into .a 27-inch scries Boiler and operate it smokelessly. No special skill or atten tion is required.
Auxiliary air is admitted through fixed openings in the fire door which never need adjusting. Together with the volatile gases it sweeps toward the back. They meet an inverted bridgewall or curtain. Are deflected downward. As they pass under, they receive an additional supply of oxygen from a slot in the curtain. Then, hitting the rear wall, the oxygen mixes thoroughly with the gases and com bustion is completed in the back of the fire box.
All the smoke is burned before the gases enter the flues. Twice more they travel the full length of the boiler, getting the utmost heating value out of every pound of coal

Banking the fire is as simple as stoking it When the main drafts are closed, the green coal cokes slowly in the deep fire box. An incandescent bed is formed that quickly ignites the fresh fuel shoveled in the next morning and swiftly floods the house or apartment with grateful warmth.
Every detail in the Capitol 27-inch series Smokeless Boiler is likewise designed for easy and reliable operation. Even the flue doors are extra large, a convenience in keeping the flues clean, although Capitol smokeless combustion minimises the soot, the heat losses it causes, and the task of cleaning it out.
The high heating efficiency of Capitol 27-inch series Smokeless Boilers over a remarkably wide range of operating capacities, is clearly shown in the authoritative performance curve given below.
