“That’s seems to have lined up correctly.” A stocky, half bald man called back from under the far end of the same pipe. “Let’s give it another try. Dan, go ahead and turn the dial.”
“Ok.” Dan replied turning the dial.

Now that there were far more people living here boiling water on an open flame was going to take far too long.
