Eagle Foundry, Leamington Spa
1844 Advert: 'BOTTOM HEAT.
Pine Pits and Hot Beds of all descriptions Heated by the Circulation of Hot Water in open CAST-IRON TANKS PLACED UNDER THE BED.
THIS Plan, now so universally approved, may be seen in Action by applying to SMITH, JAMES, and Co., EAGLE FOUNDRY, Leamington, they having erected a Hot-house and Pine Pit expressly for the purpose of showing it. A Hot-house and Pine Pit 36ft. long by 12ft. wide, heated on this plan, is now in regular work at an expense in Fuel of Three Halfpence a Day. No Tan is required, and, consequently, an Annual Saving effected that in three years would pay for the Apparatus.
Hot Water Apparatus of all descriptions carefully erected on the most approved established plans.—Metalic Hot Houses erected complete. Prices and every information given, by sending the size of the House and Bed to be Heated. Workmen sent to all parts of the Kingdom. Parlour Grates, Cooking Ranges, Hot-air Stoves, and Castings of every variety.
Eagle Foundry, Leamington.'[1]
