E. The hot closet. Below this is a tap to procure hot water from
the boiler.
F. The screen and plate-warmer.
G. The dripping-pan.
H. The smoke-jack.
I. A double gridiron. This is moveable, and hangs from a bracket
which clasps upon the top bar of the grate. It can be moved to any
distance from the bars, and can be turned without removing it from
its position on the bracket. For this purpose there is a
swivel-joint about the middle of the handle.
J. Swing bracket, to support a pan.
K. A charcoal or gas stove.
L. Rack for the spits, as described in the kitchen of the Reform
Club.
MM, M Iron shelves of open rails for the coppers, &c., about seven
feet from the floor.
N. The sink, furnished with taps for hot and cold water. It has the
bell trap, of which a drawing has already been given. Under the
sink the coal-box is kept.
O. The plate-rack, placed above the sink.
P. The dresser, with slide boards and drawers.
Q. Place for the sponge and water.
R. The spice-box.
S. The meat-safe. This is divided into two compartments, for raw
and cooked meat. It is placed outside the building, and runs upon
wheels and rails, being drawn forwards or pushed back. With this
object a chain is attached to the front, and there is a weight,
made to counterbalance the weight of the safe, exclusive of the
contents. There is a slide board near the foot of the dresser to
stand upon. The plan represents the safe in its position, when not
in use. It could readily be adapted to balconies in existing
buildings. It might be desirable to have the wire gauze double.
T. Dresser, with marble top, to make pastry upon. Beneath are the
vegetable boxes in two ranges; they are shown by dotted lines.
V. The mortar, which stands upon a block of wood, slightly hollowed
to receive it. When not in use it can be placed beneath the
dresser. There is an iron ring above, as in the other kitchens, for
the handle of the pestle to work through.
WW. Closets for preserves and other purposes.
