14—No. 6 shows the mortuary and post-mortem rooms.
15 —No. 7 is the discharging block, which consists of an
undressing room and bath room.
16—Corridors 6-ft. wide, covered on the top only, will connect
the wards, and roads will be constructed giving easy vehicular
access to the entrances of all the buildings.
17—The wards and bath rooms will be heated by Moorwood's
" hospital ventilating stoves," which have open fires.
18 —In the wards for eight beds there will be a fire at each end,
and a stove about the middle of the ward with one lire. In the
wards for twelve beds there will be a fire at each end, and a stove
in the middle with two tires. These stoves are connected by
channels with the outer air, and thus bring a supply of warm, fresh
air in to the wards. There will be an opening through the wall
under each bed for the admission of air, capable of being regulated
by the nurse. The foul air will be extracted by flues carried up
by the side of the smoke flues, aud Bunsen gas burners will be
fixed in them to acceleraie the draught.
19—The buildings will be drained by a 9-in. pipe into the outfall
sewer, which is a few feet beyond the northern end of the site.
This drain will receive only the foul drainage. There will be
separate drains to remove rain water, which will discharge into the
ditch alongside the railway.
20—The drains will be flushed by automatic flushing tanks.
The 9-in. drain is intercepted from the outfall sewer by a
ven.ilated syphon, and outlet ventilation will be provided at
suitable places.
21—The drainage from the administrative block and the lodge
will be disconnected from the other drainage by ventilating syphons
and will be separately ventilated.
22—Numerous inspection chambers are provided for access to
the drains.
