CONT

Parmi les fours à chauffage continu, le four à vapeur a été durant la première moitié du siècle, le plus connu et de loin le plus répandu. [...] Le chauffage est assuré par deux faisceaux de tubes horizontaux, l'un disposé au-dessous de la sole, l'autre au-dessous de la voûte, ce dernier apparent dans la chambre de cuisson. Ces tubes, [...] remplis aux deux tiers d'eau distillée, débouchent dans le foyer dont ils transportent la chaleur à l'intérieur des chambres de cuisson.
