Several large compartments were devoted to the machinery which automatically serviced the vessel refrigerators, heaters, generators and purifiers for water and air, and the numberless other mechanisms which would make the cruiser a comfortable and secure home, as well as an invincible battleship, in the heatless, lightless, airless, matterless waste of illimitable, inter-galactic space.
Hence the expenditure of heat in relation to power would be 89.4 + 92.0 = 97.2 per cent., equivalent to a heat economy of 2.8 per cent. If the steam for heating can be taken from the low pressure receiver, the economy is about doubled. Other feed heaters, more or less upon the same principle, have been introduced.
As a matter of fact, the same regulation for each flock of chicks could be secured with a proper type of hot water heaters and one of the most practical poultry farms in the country is now installing such a system. A brooder system where hot air under the pressure of a blower or centrifugal fan would seem ideal.
This number compared very favorably with that of the second chute where Lanky Smith and Frenchy McAlister waved cold irons and sarcastically asked their iron men if the sun was supposed to provide the heat; whereat the down-trodden heaters provided heat with great generosity in their caustic retorts. "Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me," sang Billy Williams, one of the feeders.
Red's temper was also on the ragged edge. "You've got one in yore other hand, you sheep!" snorted one of the iron heaters with restless pugnacity. "Go tearing into us when you " he growled the rest and kicked viciously at the fire. "Lovely bunch," grinned Billy who, followed by Pete Wilson, mounted the platform to relieve the branders.
I've brought spacesuits from it, I've turned on the heaters in its interior, and I've set its overdrive unit for a hop to Dara. Now I'm calling for volunteers to take half a million bushels of grain to where it's needed. Do I get any volunteers?" He got four.
"All we have to do is to turn a faucet and that lights a heater and the water runs hot as long as you leave it turned on. No quart pots for us!" "But surely," said Edith, "only very wealthy people can have luxuries like that." "We're not made of money but we have it," retorted Roger. "Even workmen have hot-water heaters in their houses."
A practical tribe, the Wealdians! The ships are ready to take off as soon as they're warmed up inside. A half-degree sun doesn't radiate heat enough to keep a ship warm, when the rest of the cosmos is effectively near zero Kelvin. Here, point the heaters like this." He adjusted the radiant-heat dispensers. The fog disappeared where their beams played.
Instead of referring coldly and disapprovingly to the matter of the telephone, he said in a judicious, amicable voice: "I doubt whether your coiffeur is all that he ought to be. I see you had your hair waved to-day." "Yes, why?" "You should tell the fellow to give you the new method of hair-waving, steaming with electric heaters or else go where you can get it."
I've bought nutmeg graters, shoelaces and gaiters, I've bought everything from a lamp to a lyre; I've bought patent heaters and saws and egg beaters and stoves that exploded and set me afire." "You're laboring under a curious blunder," the stranger protested; "I know very well that agents are trying, and dames tired of buying; but be not uneasy I've nothing to sell."
