Fireplaces and Chimneys

About the author
Arthur H. Senner, also listed as Arthur Henry Senner, was an American engineer and technical writer born in 1898. Library and public-domain records connect him with a long run of practical publications on heating and building equipment, including The Domestic Oil Burner, Oil Burners for Home Heating, Heating the Farm Home, Distillate Burners, and Fireplaces and Chimneys.
His writing was closely tied to the work of the United States Department of Agriculture. Contemporary government publications describe him as an engineer in the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering, and one USDA bulletin on oil-burner installation says he had studied the subject for about 12 years and had approached it from both technical and practical angles.
That mix of engineering knowledge and plain explanation seems to define his work. Rather than writing for specialists alone, he helped translate heating technology into advice that homeowners, farmers, and builders could actually use. Reliable sources found here confirm his career and publications, but I did not find a clearly verified portrait image to include.
