Gentlemen,
I have seen one of your Bolton Hot-Water Motor circulars. We cook our vegetables, warm our dishes and keep our meats warm with steam, which we carry from the boilers in our engine room, a distance of fully 400 feet: the waste is naturally very great and I am thinking of putting some sort of independent boilers simply for the purpose of [unknown] hot water and making necessary steam for heating coffee, and boiling our vegetables.
Do you make a heater as will give us as much steam as a 25 horse power boiler would, and what would the expense [unknown] be?
Yours truly,
E. S. Babcock
