14. MARINE wi; Sellers' Restarting Injector. ei _The Sellers' restarting injector, which is illustrated herewith, was designed and is manufactured by Wm, Sellers & Co. of Philadelphia, whose reputation as makers of high-class injectors is world-wide. In- jectors made by tius house are the result of many years of careful and scientific experiment, to determine = the proportions and shapes that will' give the widest possible range, with the most economical consumption of steam, and at the same time be thoroughly reliable. These sizes and --- proportions are accurately main- He tained by having the parts made to a eS perfect system of gauges, so that du- ret plicate parts can always be obtained (iM ti I! from the manufacturers which will fit "ss | ia eal i perfectly and give exactly the same 8 a ae results as the original. ==> ee Jenkins Bros. of 71 John street, iKo New York, are sole agents for this injector, and in a circular regarding © it they say: "It is designed for tug © boats, stationary engines, portable, | traction and hoisting engines, etc. The branches for steam, water sup- ply and delivery to the boiler are ny conveniently arranged, so that all the lf ah pipes may be placed close against the = ae boiler wall. The overflow is directly under the water branch and can be provided with a drip funnel and discharge pipe, without bending or springing the. other pipe connections. The steam nozzle and delivery tubes are screwed into the body, and do not depend upon the pressure of the steam or of the delivery to hold them in place, so that there is" no danger of leakage at these important shoulders. The body and tubes are constructed of the best bronze and are designed to give thévlongest service with the least amount of attention and repair. The injector is simply constructed and contains but few parts. It is perfectly automatic: in its action, restarting instantly after a temporary interruption of the steam or water supply. It raises the feed promptly on long lifts, with: hot or cold pipes, and gives a good range of capacities." It is not difficult to remember that the nautical mile is practically 800 feet longer than the statute mile. In other words, one nautical mile is equal to 1.1515 statute miles; or one statute mile is equal to 0.869 nau- tical miles. Multiply nautical miles by 1.1515, and the product will be statute miles; or multiply statute miles by 0.869 and the product will be nautical miles. © 2 A Niagara Falls excursion via the Nickel, Plate road, Thursday, Aug. 5.
