HIGGIN
.1 ALL METAL IL Access Panel
.Higgin all-metal weatherstrips are distinctly different from those of other manufacturers. Higgin not only has the usual metal strip which is fitted to the four sides of the window frame, but also a special spring bronze insert strip that fits into the groove of the window sashl
Thus a metal-to-metal contact is estab lished! The spring bronze insert literally hugs the window, and provides absolute protection against drafts, dust, dirt, and irritating rattles. Even though the
window sash shrinks (as so often happens) the metal-to-metal contact remains totally uneffected--cold air positively cannot gain entrance. The efficiency of the heating system is increased 25 per cent and upwards !
The Higgin Organization, backed by 35 years of constant progress, is fully pre pared to weatherstrip all types of openings -double hung windows, casements and doors. With branches and special repre^ sentatives in all large cities, Higgin offers you maximum service and co-operation plus a brand of weatherstripping without equal.

The Higgin All Metal Access Panel
was designed to meet a pressing need for
an inconspicuous flush panel for access to
critical places in Heating, Plumbing and
Refrigerating systems. The panel is
entirelyof metal.
They are made
as a unit. No
assembling at
the job.
Installation is
simple and no
special framing
or grounds are
necessary. The
panel is com
posed of a frame Hinged type pond in ceiling.

and lid. The
may be fumiehed. V-
frame is in one
piece with a continuous angle on the inside,
forming a rabbet for the lid. Perforated.^
angles are spotwelded to outside of frame
for fastening and plaster key.
On the smaller panels, friction catches
hold lid in place. For the larger sizes, re
taining clips and special cam fasteners are
used. Concealed hinges may be provided
if desired in place of the retaining clips.
Panels may be installed in walls faced with
plaster, tile or marble. They can be

SHUNT STEAM METER
The Shunt Steam Meter fills the need for a low priced, practical steam meter which is easily installed and accurate over a. wide range. It is used to advantage in measuring steam sold or in checking the distribution of steam (also air or gas) to various buildings, departments, machines or processes. Illustration shows the complete Meter. An orifice in the main line of flow deflects a portion of the steam through nozzles and against the turbine located in the shunt circuit out of the main line of flow. The turbine shaft extends through a housing into a condensation chamber below the main line. A damping fan attached to this shaft operates under water, keeping the speed low and eliminating bearing trouble. Magnetic drive between this chamber and the counter mechanism protects the latter from moisture. The meter is installed as a unit in 2,-3 and 4-in. lines. For larger size mains a small meter is installed m a by-pass line around an orifice in the main line.
