Marks and inscriptions
Ioh. Iacob Schübler inv. et del. Georg Lichtensteger Sculpsit 6. Ganz besonderer Treib-Ofen in welchem der Rauch seinen Lauff dergestalt vollended muss, dass fast alle Wärme desselben kan genuzet werden, und da ich diese Invention bereits unlängst etlichen gelehrten Bau-Meistern mit mehrerer Nachricht eröffnet als hier der Raum gestattet, als hoffe ich dass man diesen Vortheilhafften Ofen so wohl in Treib Häussern, Oragerien, Klöstern und vielen Ortern eben so richtig als ich geleistete, werde aufrichten könen. Cum Pr. Sac. Cæs. Maj. Hæred. Ier. Wolffij exc. A.V.
Translation
Very special refining furnace, in which the smoke must complete its course in such a way that almost all of its heat can be utilized, and since I have already opened this invention to several educated builders with more information than the space here allows, I hope that one will be able to erect this advantageous stove in greenhouses, orangeries, cloisters and many places, in the correct way that I have achieved.
Object history
