NEW *YORK, April :8. —— .The

The Spencer thennootut consist:
of :1 com-ex disc of two dis-similar

characteristics of the‘disc it can be

The principle on which the Spen-
it has reached the first basic patent
on quick doling thermostatic bi-
motal deHces that has exer been
issued by the Lniicd Slates II’ateut
Office.
The: story of. this invention well
illustrates the old adage. ”Oppor-
tunity lies met-where it you have
but the" eyes to see them.’ In Mr.
Spencer’s cause. it was being able
to apply his observations at the ac-
tion of a. steam boiler which he.
tended. years ago in a Maine lum-
ber camp that resulted in his re-
cent invention. ‘
‘ The Trick Boiler.
The boiler was located in a lum-
ber mill in the northern part of
Milne. Spencer, a boy then 'ased
about fifteen. was employed on the
night shift: in the mill and in addi-
tion to making periodical tours of
inspection. be h d to maintain the
fire in the boil The task or fir-
ing kept him. particularly busy as,
the weather being éold. the wood re-
{use need as fuel burned quickly.
Therefore. he constantly had to run
to the boiler room to see it the'ilrc'»
needed replenishing.
The peculiarity of this boiler lay
in the fact that it had a rounded
cleanout door which was constantly
changing its shape with a. 101.11! 911111)
or click. At times- 111111 door Would
be convex; then' it would snap into
a concave shape: and heal again it
would bulge out and become convex:
